LET US BE FRIENDS.

WORDS BY DAVID BATES, ESQ.

Music Composed and Dedicated to his Friends, by P. R.

Published by T. C. ANDREWS, 66 Spring Garden St., Phila.

Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1853, by T. C. ANDREWS, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Let us be friends, though far and near

The outward world contends;

With noble souls, and true hearts here,

Dear friends, let us be friends.

Let us be friends when fortune smiles,

And blesses all our ends;

She often cheats us with her wiles;

Dear friends, let us be friends.

Let us be friends; that heart is best

That freely treasure spends,

To cheer the drooping and oppressed;

Dear friends, let us be friends.

Let us be friends when, lifting high,

The threatening wave impends;

T'will harmless break or pass us by,

Dear friends, if we are friends.

Let us be friends, for life is brief,

And friendship makes amends

For days of toil and nights of grief:

Dear friends, let us be friends.

Let us be friends, for one by one

The grave its summons sends;

When we must tread life's path alone,

Dear friends, let us part friends.
