Music Is My Only Friend - John Brown's Body

Come help me ease my mind

I need a friend like you tonight

Someone to give me strength

Because sorrow is a heavy weight

I want to play on the tambourine and sing a song of melody

I’ll make it sweet and low

So I can hold you lose to me

Woah!

Music like an only friend

I come between two families

With not a fiddle string among them

Just like when I was young

No one said to sing

I just sung

I want to play on the piano songs of comfort and joy

Just like the birds in the trees

They seem to sing a little song I know

Music like my only friend

Sorrow is the bread I eat

Music like an only friend

Come bring to I some relief
