Mr. Buddy was someone who never steered me wrong He was always singing the good song Even when some folks would hiss and jeer, he wouldn't give He was always gonna be him As the years went by He didn't need a pass of kin He was in the family by then On the railroad tracks He'd skip a stone and we'd pretend That the moment we were in would never end Even though I knew that Buddy wouldn't always be I still have my buddy here with me Mr. Buddy was someone who never steered you wrong And I will always sing his song
