Woman You Have Been a Friend to ME
Tom T. Hall
I appreciate the coffee that you made I appreciate the shelter of your roof
I'll pay you back someday for all the kindness and all the other liberties I took
Although I cannot say that I have loved you I won't forget how good it was to be
Among the people you call little darling hey woman you have been a friend to me
Woman you have been a friend to me and somewhere down the line I'll drink a toast
To the lady who encouraged me to try and took me in when I was down and broke
I hope that life holds many thrills for you and there are great big apples on your tree
I'm sorry that I could't give you more than thanks
But woman you have been a friend to me woman you have been a friend to me
