words and music by Helen Noble Worst
The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
Happiness be with you friend o’ mine
Gladness fill your heart just all the time
May the days be bright where e’er you are
Whether at home or wand’ring far
Tears or sorrows be there none
Trials or tribulations not a one
But a world of bliss is what I wish
For just a friend o’ mine
Yet, ’tis said in life we all must know
Both of weal and of woe
Just as shadows come and shadows go
Life brings gladness, life brings woe
Then if while thru this world you onward go
Sorrow and sadness you should know
If your path with shadows is o’er cast
And all sunshine seems to have past
If the days are dark and dreary, too
And you’re sad and lonely, weary, too
May it brighten some dark hour to know
That you’re a friend o’ mine
