Poor, poor angela, what's become of you? He's standing by the screen door, saying that you're through, And all this heartbreak - will it ever end? That's no way to treat a friend Oh adriana, full of tears and woe Your gold turned into silver and your Oilver into stones: They left when there was nothing more to spend That's no way to treat a friend There's ice out in the parlour three feet deep The snow just keeps on falling, but the company you keep Will it get you thorugh the winter in the end? That's no way to treat a friend Peter, poor peter, where will you go now? Stuck out in a small town where the road runs out And did he drop you with your bags out on the bend? That's no way to treat a friend You build up all your trusting three miles high You build it up so solid you no longer see the sky So when it falls, there is so much more to mend That's no way to treat a friend Mary, mary, mary, don't it make you blue And as empty as the promises in the letters that he sends you, It's a shame how he will borrow Every little thing you lend That's no way to treat a friend There's ice out in the parlour three feet deep The snow just keeps on falling, but the company you keep Will it get you through the winter in the end? That's no way to treat a friend
