"In a Friendly sort o' Way.
"When a man ain't got a cent, and he's feeling kind
o' blue,
And the clouds hang dark an' heavy, an' won't let
the sunshine through,
It's a great thing, O my brethern, for a feller just
to lay
His hand upon your shoulder in a friendly sort o' way.

"It makes a man feel curious; it makes the teardrops
start,
An' you sort o' feel a flutter in the region of the
heart;
You look up and meet his eyes' you don't know what to
say
When his hand is on your shoulder in a friendly sort
o' way.

"Oh, the world's a curious compound, with its honey and
its gall,
With its care and bitter crosses, but a good world
after all;

An' a good God must have made it - leastways, that is
what I say,

When a hand is on my shoulder in a friendly sort
o' way."
