Lyrics
My bark of life was tossing down
The troubled stream of time
Since first I saw your smiling face
And youth was in its prime
Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam
Where ever you may be
If ever I have had a friend
You've been that friend to me
Misfortune nursed me as her child
And loved me fondly too
I would have had a broken heart
Had it not been for you
Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam
Where ever you may be
If ever I have had a friend
You've been that friend to me
Oh, now I look back upon the past
Across life's troubled sea
And smile to think in all I've seen
You've been a friend to me
Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam
Where ever you may be
If ever I have had a friend
You've been that friend to me
