Youve Been A Friend To Me Lyrics & Chords By The Carter Family

My bark of life was tossing down The troubled stream of time Since 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've 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've been that friend to me Oh, now I look back upon the past Across life's troubled sea And smile to think in 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've been that friend to me
