Bob Dylan - Ballad For A Friend lyrics

[Verse 1] Sad I'm a-sittin' on the railroad track Watching' that old smokestack Train is a-leavin' but it won't be back [Verse 2] Years ago we hung around Watching' trains roll through the town Now that train is a-graveyard bound [Verse 3] Where we go up in that North Country Lakes and streams and mines so free I had no better friend than he [Verse 4] Something happened to him that day I thought I heard a stranger say I hung my head and stole away [Verse 5] A diesel truck was rolling' slowly Pulling' down a heavy load It left him on a Utah road [Verse 6] They carried him back to his home town His mother cried, his sister moaned Listening' to them church bells tone
