Ballad For A Friend Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan
Sad I'm sittin' on the railroad track Watchin' that old smokestack Train is a-leavin' bit it won't be back
Years ago we hung around Watchin' trains roll through the town Now that train is a-graveyard bound
Where we go up in that North Country Lakes and streams and mines so free I had no better friend than he
Something happened to him that day I thought I heard a stranger say I hung my head and stole away
A diesel truck was rollin' slow Pullin' down a heavy load It left him on a Utah road
They carried him back to his home town His mother cried, his sister moaned Listin' to them church bells tone
