My Old Friend Lyrics - Go Cat Go - Carl Perkins

On the Isle of Montserrat 

Though I never shall forget 

Just a country boy, a guitar and a song 

You invited me in 

And you treated me like king 

And you've given me a reason to go on. 

My old friend, 

Thanks for inviting me in 

My old friend, 

May this goodbye never mean the end 

If we never meet again this side of life 

In a little while, over yonder, 

Where it's peace and quiet 

My old friend, 

Won't you think about me every now and then. 

If I told you how I feel 

Oh, it wouldn't sound so real 

'Cause emotions, they are just now settin' in 

But it sure is great to know 

That wherever we may go 

We can always be the best of friends. 

My old friend, 

Thanks for inviting me in 

My old friend, 

May this goodbye never mean the end 

And if we never meet again this side of life 

In a little while, over yonder, 

Where it's peace and quiet 

My old friend, 

Won't you think about me every now and then.
