Well my friends and I shared many things
and we rode together on Angels wings
and I didn't really care what the future might bring
when I would listen to him playin' and a singin'
When I was feelin' down, he'd lift my spirits high
and at the same time his magic music made me cry
and then one day he just up and died
and I felt all alone as I stood screamin'
Well I said, Buddy! What has happened,
Can you hear me friend?
Buddy!, I didn't see this comin' 'round the bend
Buddy!, Is this the way your story ends?
Well you rest easy and I'll carry on singin'
Well, And now I stand alone and I play my game
Well he's gone away and he didn't even know my name
But, I knew his, he was a man of fame
Well rest easy Jimi and I'll carry on singin'
Cause I said, Buddy! What has happened,
Can you hear me friend?
Buddy!, I didn't see this comin' 'round the bend
Buddy!, Is this the way your story ends
Well rest down easy and I'll carry on singin'
