Friends of Mine Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Guess Who
Review The Song (6)Print the Lyrics
(Bachman/Cummings)

Friends of mine don't have the time
For food or wine
Just money is on their minds

Life is sweet
On a one-way street
They're indiscrete
And funny, they'll never meet

(Da doo da doo doo doo doo doo) X 6
Oooooooohhhh

B-bay-b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-bay-ba-baby...

I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta get a two-ton truck
I gotta do it to a duck on a two-ton truck and fade away like Ron Rene
All right, all right

ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh

You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour
You got the magical mystery tour

And Kurt is the Walrus
And Kurt is the Walrus
And the Walrus does funny things to the veins in his left arm, yeah
All right

And Michael is now a father, all right
And Michael is now a proud father, all right
And my good friend Michael is now a proud father
And Michael is now a father, all right
And that means Michael's wife is a mother, all right

Up the thirteen steps of the gallows walked the condemned man
And time passes very quickly when death is near
After having completed the first step, the condemned man knew there were but twelve left
Before he would meet death and his soul would leave his body
And after having completed the thirteen steps the condemned man was met by a giant cloaked figure
And with a quick flick of the wrist the man was dead
And his soul left his body and went down down down
To a place we laughingly refer to as hell
But none of us will ever go there because we're all far too groovy
The man's body was left to rot on the gallows
And a great multitude of black birds came and picked the man's corpse apart
Piece by piece
Limb by limb
Until nothing remained
And his blood melted into the ground below

The gallows was made from a tree created by God
The man's blood dripped into the ground which was created by God
Even the giant cloaked figure which was the man's own end was created by God
Even the man's soul which went down was created by God
Even the black birds which picked the man's corpse apart were created by God
AND WHERE WAS GOD?

In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
between the crosses row on row
to mark the dead

To Flanders Fields the hippies go
to smoke the poppies there below
and feed their heads

And they're all friends of mine, each and every one of them, no better and no worse
And we'll probably end up down there together when it's all over

And that's why we say
B-bay-b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-bay-ba-baby...

All right, all right, ALL RIGHT
It's, it's all over and it's all right.
It's all over and it's all right.
It's all over and it's all right.
All over, and it's all..
IT'S ALL RIGHT

Review about Friends of Mine

They're not The Doors | Reviewer: Jack | 12/2/09

Look, I'm probably the Guess Who's biggest fan, but honestly, I think this "masterpiece," as another reviewer in this thread called it, is a weak attempt to sound like the Doors. I even heard Cummings mention in an interview once that they were "influenced" by the Doors during that time (1968 or so), when "Wheatfield Soul" was released. Don't get me wrong, "Wheatfield Soul" is a fine album, but this isn't it's best track. I like "A Wednesday In Your Garden," "The Pink Wine Sparkles In The Glass," "Lightfoot" (a beautiful tribute to fellow Canadian Gordon Lightfoot), and, of course, the big hit, "These Eyes."



The Guess Who | Reviewer: Patti Gaughan | 4/23/08

I have been trying to find the song that contains part of the Flander Field poem and you provided it with Friends of Mine. Can you tell me what CD I can find the song on now?

I have been looking for years and I am so grateful. Thanks



FINALLY!! | Reviewer: Sharon | 4/23/07

I have been looking for the name of this song and the recording artists for a LONG time, and finally looked in my old and dusty albums and came upon the "Wheatfield Soul" album. I somehow knew that was it, but since I no longer had a turntable, couldn't play it, so, I started looking for the lyrics to the song, and here it is...WHEW!! (And Thanks!!)



These Friends of mine | Reviewer: Lorelei | 4/19/07

I too looked for this song for some time. I was told that the album Wheatfield Soul can be purchased at Amazon.com. Gook luck.



Album | Reviewer: nick | 8/30/06

This song is a masterpiece, no doubt, from the album Wheatfield Soul by the Guess Who.



Finally Found it! | Reviewer: Drew | 9/15/05

I have been searching for this song for years. I finally have the words. Does anyone know where I can find an album with this song on it??
