Well my friend 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 singin'

When I was feeling 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'

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, I'll carry on singin'
