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
