One or more bearded friends I have had There was a man named Mike Brown But he was so sad he did drown And old Mr Finnegan In the song you and I Once sang of him And one who kept me singing When my heart was trembling In fright This passerby life Many of my favourite friends As a girl were animals A young dying baby lamb She was orphaned I fed her by hand And a tiny Christmas Island bird She'd fallen down Her wing was hurt And the most gracious feline She was the dearest friend A girl could have In this life This passerby life As you go, know I love you so
