Good Friend Of Mine Lyrics

Well I heard that the world you have travelled**News came by on the grapevineSo I hope you don't seem to be simple, noCause you were a good friendWe were just friends back in schooldaysShared cigarettes, girls and wineYou got lucky, came into some moneyYou were a good friend of mineYou know I left school and earned moneyThings went by **But you could afford to be educatedYou were a good friend of mineSaid I've worked like a slave till my dad diedMother and me, we went cryingStill ** to the chaplain, oh LordYou were a good friend of mine** married my wife in the kitchenAll our food it came off the breadlineI guess you're what they call a gay bachelor, yeahAnd you're still a good friend of mineNow you hear me, we will be together**Goin' to your place or to mineWe don't need to ** that we have it allAnd of course you're a good friend of mineI said we're healthy, my my myYou're still a good friend of mine
