Good Friend Of Mine Lyrics - A Song For Me - Family

Well I heard that the world you have travelled 

News came by on the grapevine 

So I hope you don't seem to be simple, no 

'Cause you were a good friend of mine 

We were just friends back in schooldays 

Shared cigarettes, girls and wine 

You got lucky, came into some money 

You were a good friend of mine 

You know I left school and earned money 

Things went by [?] 

But you could afford to be educated 

You were a good friend of mine 

Said I've worked like a slave till my dad died 

Mother and me, we went crying 

Still paid out to the chaplain, oh Lord 

You were a good friend of mine 

Meet Mary my wife and the kids here 

All our food it came off the breadline 

I guess you're what they call a gay bachelor, yeah 

And you're still a good friend of mine 

Now you hear me, we will be together 

Goin' to your place or to mine 

We don't need to [?] that we have it all 

And of course you're a good friend of mine 

I said we're healthy, my my my 

You're still a good friend of mine
