Greatest Friend

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 friend 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.
