"You've Been A Friend To Me" lyrics - 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

[Instrumental break]

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

[Instrumental break]

Now I look back upon the past
Acrost 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
