Jesus was a friend of John, mmm-mmm-mmm
Jesus was a friend of Paul, mmm-mmm-mmm
He was a friend of Matthew, James, John down the line.
I do believe I'd been a friend of Jesus in his time.
Jesus walked the streets at night, mmm-mmm-mmm
Jesus, he didn't need no light, mmm-mmm-mmm
Jesus walked with the harlot; and he ran with the hoodlum kind.
I do believe I'd been a friend of Jesus in his time.
Jesus ran with the hard-line gang, mmm-mmm-mmm
Jesus knew the songs they sang, mmm-mmm-mmm
He didn't have no money; they say he didn't have a dime.

Good God Almighty, my darlin' Jesus,
You are a friend of mine.
Come on along, we'll sing another song
Of Jesus in his time.
They caught him in the yard - the National Guard,
Jesus, he was crucified.
Open up the door, he's seen it all before.
Jesus, he is on your side.
Good God Almighty, my darlin' Jesus,
You are a friend of mine.
You're alone he will walk you home Jesus he stay by your side
Good God Almighty, my darlin' Jesus,
You are a friend of mine
