You’ve Been A Friend To Me - The Carter Family

Oh, I’ll ne’er forget where e’er I roam

Where ever you may be

If ever I have had a friend

You have been that friend to me

My bark of life was tossing down

The troubled stream of time

When first I saw your smiling face

And youth was in its prime

Oh, I’ll ne’er forget where e’er I roam

Where ever you may be

If ever I have had a friend

You have been that friend to me

Misfortune nursed me as her child

And loved me fondly, too

I would have had a broken heart

Had it not been for you

Oh, I’ll ne’er forget where e’er I roam

Where ever you may be

If ever I have had a friend

You have been that friend to me

Now I look back upon the past

Across life’s troubled seas

And smile to think of all I’ve seen

You’ve been a friend to me

Oh, I’ll ne’er forget where e’er I roam

Where ever you may be

If ever I have had a friend

You have been that friend to me

Oh, I’ll ne’er forget where e’er I roam

Where ever you may be

If ever I have had a friend

You have been that friend to me
