I didn't know her. I truly feel like I did and I feel like I've lost a friend today.

She was a friend of mine
She was a friend of mine
Every time I think about her now
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause she was a friend of mine

She died on the road
She died on the road
She never had enough money
To pay her room or board
And she 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 she was a friend of mine

She never done no wrong
She never done no wrong
A thousand miles from home
And she never harmed no one
And she was a friend of mine

She was a friend of mine
She was a friend of mine
Every time I hear her name
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause she was a friend of mine.

Apologies for the corn and apologies to Dylan for changing the pronoun.
