Le origini di “ He was a friend of Mine “.
HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE

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.
Smith Casey's "Shorty George" Lyrics

mmmmm wonderin what's the matter now?
Lord, wonderin what's the matter now?
Now just all 'bout by myself

Yes, he died on the road
Yes, he died on the road
aaaa Had no money to pay his board.

Ahhhhh he was a friend of mine
Yes, he was a friend of mine
Every time I think now I just can't keep from cryin'.

I stole away and cried
Yes, stole away and cried
Never had no money, now I wasn't satisfied


I wonder what's the matter now
Lord, wonderin' what's the matter now
Can't get no letter, Lord, don't need no letter no how

I 'bout to lose my mind
I 'bout to lose my mind
Shouldn't've been tired 'bout this great long time.
