I had a good friend, sometime ago We had a good thing And we let it show Oh I was a fool I let him go Oh oh oh, how I miss him so I had a woman Who's love was strong She gave me her freedom And I let her run Oh, I was a fool I let her go Oh oh oh, how I miss her so I knew a fine man So strong with strife He ran for election And he lost his life Oh, I was a fool I let him go Oh oh oh, how I miss him so Oh oh oh oh oh, how I miss him so Ah ah ah ah ah, how I miss him so
