Bob Dylan - Ballad for a Friend Lyrics

Lyrics Ballad for a Friend - 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.
