Incredible String Band Greatest Friend Lyrics

Greatest Friend Lyrics

The greatest friend I have in life 

 Has brought me here to dwell 

 Awhile among your green green hills 

 All by the watery well 

 The water from that wondrous well 

 Has made my eyes to see 

 And loosed my tongue to sing with joy 

 That such a griend can be 

 The greatest friend I have in life 

 Was hidden long from me 

 Above the mountains cold and wide 

 Beneath the sacred tree 

 That sacred tree whose bark I touched 

 Whose leaves did tell to me 

 The ancient tales that made me sure 

 My friend would come to me 

  

 My greatest friend a song has given 

 To sing where I may go 

 To sing among the green green hills 

 And where the waters flow 

 The waters from that wondrous well 

 That made my eyes to see 

 And made my mind to ever show 

 My greatest friend to me
