Robert Johnson lyrics

When You Got a Good Friend blues lyrics

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

I mistreated my baby
and I can't see no reason why
I mistreated my baby
and I can't see no reason why
Everytime I think about it
I just wring my hands and cry

Wonder could I bear apologize
or would she sympathize with me
Mmmmm mmm mmm
would she sympathize with me
She's a brownskin woman
just as sweet as a girlfriend can be

Mmmm mmm
babe, I may be right ay wrong
Baby, it's yo'y opinion
oh, I may be right ay wrong
Watch your close friend, baby
then your ene'ies 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-aah
love and treat her right
