lyrics

______________________________________________________

When A Fella Needs A Friend

He roamed the grasses and the brambles
He'd never known a trail to end
They said he surely would unravel
Before the fella finds a friend

He'd tumbleweed along the western reeds
Tumbleweed the eastern end
No length a fella will not travel
When a fella needs a friend

He'd bank enough
To raise some smoke in town
Some lit up spot out on the wind
He'd pull out again at full ramble
And the place
He'd never see again

He'd tumbleweed along the here and there
The only place he'd ever been
No length a fella will not travel
When a fella needs a friend

One day he put away his lock and chain
Somewhere out by the rainbow's end
A few came by who knew his name
Tumbleweeds that blew in on the wind

He's tumbleweeding on the big blue ceiling
That is always rolling overhead
No length a fella will not travel
When a fella needs a friend

He's tumbleweeding on the big blue ceiling
That is always rolling overhead
No length a fella will not travel
When a fella needs a friend

When a fella needs a friend
