My Old Friend

On the Isle of Montserrat No I never shall forget Just a country boy A guitar and a song You invited me in And you've treated me like king And you've given me A reason to go on My old friend Thanks for inviting me in My old friend May this goodbye Never mean the end If we never meet again This side of life In a little while Over yonder Where it's peace and quiet My old friend Won't you think about me Every now and then If I told you how I feel Oh, it wouldn't sound so real 'Cause emotions They are just now setting in But it sure is great to know That wherever we may go We can always be The best of friends My old friend Thanks for inviting me in My old friend May this goodbye Never mean the end And if we never meet again This side of life In a little while Over yonder Where it's peace and quiet My old friend Won't you think about me Every now and then And I'll think about you My old friend
