When You Got A Good Friend
(Robert Johnson)
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
Give her all of your spare time,
try to love and treat her right
I mistreated my baby,
And I can't see no reason why
I mistreated my baby,
And I can't see no reason why
Any time I think about it,
I just wring my hands and cry
Wonder, could I bear apologize,
Or would she sympathize with me?
Mmm, would she sympathize with me?
She's a brown-skin woman,
Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be
Mmm, baby I may be right or wrong
Baby, it's your opinion, well I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friend, baby,
Then your enemies can't do you no harm
..
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side
Give her all of your spare time,
Love and treat her right
