Well, 
He was a friend of mine, he was a friend of mine 
he Died without a penny, he Didn't have a dime 
but He was a friend of mine 

I don't Know where he Come from, I don't Know where he Come from, 
now, One day he was here(there), next day he's(was) gone, 
I don't know where he come from 

He never done no wrong, He never done no wrong 
a Thousand miles from home, and He never harmed no one 
He was a friend of mine 

I soughed away and cried, I soughed away and cried 
Tears fell like raindrops, the night my best friend died 
And he was a friend of mine 

He was a friend of mine 
He was a friend of mine [Refrain]
