HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, 2005)

Legendary country singer-songwriter Willie Nelson provided one of the songs, He Was A Friend Of Mine, in the award-winning and acclaimed film, Brokeback Mountain. A simply apt tune from the film helmed by Ang Lee.


HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE

sung by: Willie Nelzon


He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Every time I think of him

I just can’t keep from cryin’

'Cause he was a friend of mine


He died on the road

He died on the road

He just kept on moving

Never reaped what he could sow

And he was a friend of mine

(INSTRUMENTAL)


I stole away and cried

I stole away and cried

'Cause I never had too much money

And I never been quite satisfied

And he was a friend of mine


He never done no wrong

He never done no wrong

A thousand miles from home

And he never harmed no one

And he was a friend of mine

(INSTRUMENTAL)


He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Every time I hear his name Lord

I just can’t keep from cryin’

'Cause he was a friend of mine
