"Woman You Have Been a Friend to Me" Sangtekst

(Tom T. Hall)

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.

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
Hey woman, you have been a friend to me.

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...
