He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can’t keep from cryin’
‘Cause he was a friend of mine

He died on the road
He died on the road
He never had enough money
To pay his room or board
And he was a friend of mine

I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
‘Cause I never had too much money
And I never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine

He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
And he was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
Lord I just can’t keep from cryin’
‘Cause he was a friend of mine.

Testo

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can’t keep from crying
Cause he was friend a friend of mine

He died on the road
He died on the road
He never had no money
To pay his room or board
He was a friend of mine

I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
Cause I never had too much money
And I can’t be satisfied
He was a friend of mine

He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
He was just a poor boy
Long way from home
He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I hear his name
I just can’t keep from crying
Cause he was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
Era un mio amico
He was a friend of mine
Era un mio amico
Every time I think about him now
Ogni volta che penso a lui ora
Lord I just can’t keep from crying
Signore, io proprio non riesco a non piangere
Cause he was friend a friend of mine
Causa era amico di un mio amico

He died on the road
E ‘morto sulla strada
He died on the road
E ‘morto sulla strada
He never had no money
Non ha mai avuto soldi
To pay his room or board
Per pagare la sua stanza o pensione
He was a friend of mine
Era un mio amico

I stole away and cried
Ho rubato via e pianto
I stole away and cried
Ho rubato via e pianto
Cause I never had too much money
Causa non ho mai avuto troppi soldi
And I can’t be satisfied
E non posso essere soddisfatta
He was a friend of mine
Era un mio amico

He never done no wrong
Non ha mai fatto nulla di male
He never done no wrong
Non ha mai fatto nulla di male
He was just a poor boy
Era solo un povero ragazzo
Long way from home
Long way da casa
He was a friend of mine
Era un mio amico

He was a friend of mine
Era un mio amico
He was a friend of mine
Era un mio amico
Every time I hear his name
Ogni volta che sento il suo nome
I just can’t keep from crying
Non riesco a non piangere
Cause he was a friend of mine
Perché lui era un mio amico
