A Friend of Mine - Lyrics

Our performance is Tues morning, so please remember to rehearse over the three day weekend!

A Friend of Mine



The river is    (the river is)
The river is    (the river is)

The river is a friend of mine

And when I’m good       (and when I’m good)
It treats me good    (it treats me good)
And when I’m bad         (and when I’m bad)
It treats me bad     (it treats me bad)

It took a long time for me to find
The lesson that I needed to learn
That if I’m good, if I’m good to the river
If I’m good, if I’m good to the river
If I’m good to the river
The river will be good to me.


The mountain is    (the mountain is)
The mountain is    (the mountain is)

The mountain is a friend of mine

And when I’m good       (and when I’m good)
It treats me good    (it treats me good)
And when I’m bad         (and when I’m bad)
It treats me bad     (it treats me bad)

It took a long time for me to find
The lesson that I needed to learn
That if I’m good, if I’m good to the mountain
If I’m good, if I’m good to the mountain
If I’m good to the mountain
The mountain will be good to me.


My classmates are       (my classmates are)
My classmates are       (my classmates are)

My classmates are all friends of mine

And when I’m good       (and when I’m good)
They treat me good    (they treat me good)
And when I’m bad         (and when I’m bad)
They treat me bad     (they treat me bad)

It took a long time for me to find
The lesson that I needed to learn
That if I’m good, if I’m good to my classmates
If I’m good, if I’m good to my classmates
If I’m good to my classmates,
My classmates will be good to me.

Respect each other that’s the key!

  2. I'm sorry, I don't know. I would have published the writer, had I had that information available to me.
