Cowboy hat, cowboy boots
Denim jacket full of Mexican cheroots
How that man can sing
I've got trouble on my mind
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine
He came to Paris from Portland town
Carryin' a banjo, playin' around
How that man can sing
I've got trouble on my mind
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine
Too much whisky, too much wine
Too much travellin' down the line
How that man can sing
I've got trouble on my mind
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine
Headin' down that one-way track
Carryin' the devil on his back
How that man can sing
I've got trouble on my mind
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine
He got a lady so sweet and kind
He's okay now and doin' fine
How that man can sing
I've got trouble on my mind
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine
Cowboy hat, cowboy boots
Denim jacket full of Mexican cheroots
How that man can sing
I've got trouble on my mind
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine
It's good to know that
He's a friend of mine
"He's a friend o' mine"
