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 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
