Joe Offer	Lyr ADD: You've Been a Friend to Me (17)	Lyr:ADD: You've Been a Friend to Me	14 Sep 20
Here's the transcription from the Bear Family Carter Family box set, In the Shadow of Clinch Mountain (page 138) - and verified with the recording. YOU'VE BEEN A FRIEND TO ME (Carter Family) 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. CHORUS Oh I'll ne'er forget where'er I roam, Wherever 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. CHORUS I now look back upon the past, Across life's troubled sea, And smile to think 'mid all life's scenes, You've been a friend to me CHORUS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pifcov2RV88
