Lyrics:

(robert johnson)

when you got a good friend, that will stay right by your side [2x]

give her all of your spare time, try to love and treat her right


i mistreated my baby, but i can't see no reason why [2x]

anytime i think about it, i just wring my hands and cry


wonder, could i bear apologize, or would she sympathize with me

mmm, or would she sympathize with me

she's a brownskin woman, just as sweet as a girlfriend can be


mmm, baby i may be right or wrong

baby, it your opinion, i may be right or wrong

watch your close friend, baby, then you enemies can't do you no harm


when you got a good friend that will stay right by your side [2x]

give her all of your spare time, love and treat her right
