Lyrics for the Mitchell Trio version...this is on the "Alive!" album, and was primarily sung by John Denver. The refrain is repeated a bunch of times, and interspersed with John spurring on the audience to sing along.
Well, he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He died without a penny, didn't have a dime
But he was a friend of mine
I don't know where he come from
I don't know where he come from
One day he was there, he next day he was gone
I don't know where he come from
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
Tears fell like raindrops the night that my friend died
I stole away and cried
