Friend I let myself in 
Little bold (???) saturated sigh 
I hoped you might 
Help my sorrow's din 
Bring out your breath of strife 

My friend 
Can you help me 
Why did I drink 
From that devil's hand 
Oh my friend 
Can you help me 
Why did I drink 
From his hand 

It's not easy 
It's not kind 
These things we turn to face 
It's not easy 
It's not kind 
These things we turn to face 

Oh my friend 
Can you help me 
Why did I drink 
From the devil's hand 
Oh my friend 
Can you help me 
Why did I drink 
From his hand 
 [bad word] take my hand 
We'll say goodbye 
?????  [bad word] take my hand 
We'll ride from here
