He Was A Friend of Mine..
Kajunite:
I stand corrected. Thanks, Jeff; et al! I went back to listen to it. The first time this phrase was sung it sounded like '...all alone' but the second line was more clear when I heard it.
I wear hearing aids (really) and sometimes these things don't hear too well.
Neverless, I see my error but I think my version would have been better as Jack died because no one was there to turn him over which tells me that he was all alone. Thanks again. Ernie...Kajunite.
Jeff Wrangler:
Tell you what, Ernie, that's why I can hardly stand to listen to it. 'Cause whether or not Jack was murdered or died as a result of an accident, he was still all alone ... on the side of that back road. He didn't deserve to "go" that way. No one does.
:'(
Thanks for starting this thread. At least this was one BBM mystery that could be resolved!
Kajunite:
Thanks, Jeff! Willie Nelson did not include the verse #3 in the movie song as you have it above. The "He Never Done No Wrong" verse and it seems appropriate to me also. Poor Ennis....

I love the soundtrack, too, but simply cannot listen to "He Was A Friend Of Mine"
Thinking about Jack all alone (even though those aren't in the lyrics) and dying, with "no one to turn him over"....well... I feel like I'm going to keel over and pass out...
