Lyrics Music Is My Only Friend - John Brown's Body

Music Is My Only Friend

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
