Well my friend and I shared many things And we rode together on angels wings And I didn't really care what the future might bring When I would listen to him playin' and singin' When I was feeling down he’d lift my spirits high And at the same time his magic music made me cry And then one day he just up and died And I felt all alone as I stood screamin' Well I said Buddy! What has happened can you hear me friend? Buddy! I didn't see this comin’ ’round the bend Buddy, is this the way your story ends? Well you rest easy and I'll carry on singin' And now I stand alone and I play my game Well he's gone away and he didn't even know my name But I knew his, he was a man of fame Well rest easy Jimi and I'll carry on singin' Cause I said Buddy! What has happened can you hear me friend? Buddy! I didn't see this comin’ ’round the bend Buddy, is this the way your story ends? Well rest down easy, I'll carry on singin'
