Woman You Have Been a Friend to Me - Bobby Bare

I appreciate the coffee that you made I appreciate the shelter of your roof

I’ll pay you back someday for all the kindness and all the other liberties I took

Woman 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 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

But woman you have been a friend to me woman you have been a friend to me
