The greatest friend I have in life    Has brought me here to dwell   Awhile among your green green hills   All by the watery well    The water from that wondrous well   Has made my eyes to see   And loosed my tongue to sing with joy   That such a griend can be   The greatest friend I have in life   Was hidden long from me   Above the mountains cold and wide   Beneath the sacred tree   That sacred tree whose bark I touched   Whose leaves did tell to me   The ancient tales that made me sure   My friend would come to me      My greatest friend a song has given   To sing where I may go   To sing among the green green hills   And where the waters flow   The waters from that wondrous well   That made my eyes to see   And made my mind to ever show   My greatest friend to me.
