My friend he crossed the border I guess he was on the run He was stubborn like a mule And wouldn't come back But he was careful with his gun So long, so long My friend he love the whisky He danced and played guitar I wish he was here so we could play again But this time he has gone too far So long, so long My friend he loved the women The only thing that made him cry He was a little shy, he didn't hurt a fly I know he's got a place in the Sky Bye bye, bye bye
