Mabel You Have Been a Friend to Me |
| I appreciate the coffee that you’ve made |
| I appreciate the shelter of your roof |
| I’ll pay you back someday for all your 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 |
| Mabel you have been a friend to me |
| Mabel 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 you 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 |
| Mabel you have been a friend to me |
| If you hear that I’m somewhere and I’m doin' well |
| Don’t you fail to stop and see me if you can |
| Oh you know that if you ever need a pal |
| I’ll sure be there to lend you a helping hand |
| If fortune treats me good and if I make it |
| I’ll remember where I rest my wandering feet |
| That you made part of the bitter journey sweeter |
| Mabel you have been a friend to me |
