[Tom T. Hall - Mabel, You Have Been A Friend To Me lyrics]

I appreciate the coffee that you've made
I appreciate the shelter of your roof
I'll pay you back someday
For all your kindness
And all the other liberties I took
Although I cannot say that I have loved you
I won't forget how good it was to be
Among the people you call little darling
Mabel you have been a friend to me

Mabel you have been a friend to me
And somewhere down the line
I'll drink a toast
To the lady who encouraged me to try
And you took me in when I was down and broke

I hope that life holds many thrills for you
And there are great big apples on your tree
I'm sorry that I could't give
You more than thanks
Mabel you have been a friend to me

If you hear that I'm somewhere
And I'm doin' well
Don't you fail to stop and see me if you can
Oh you know that if you ever need a pal
I'll sure be there to lend
You a helping hand
If fortune treats me good and if I make it
I'll remember where I rest my wandering feet
That you made part of
The bitter journey sweeter
Mabel you have been a friend to me
