He died on the road
He died on the road
well,he never had enough much money
To pay his room or his 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've never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine

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

Everytime I hear his name
Lord I just can't keep from crying
