When you gotta good friend
Let her stay right by your side
When you gotta good friend
Let her stay right by your side
Give all your spare time to her
And treat her rightI'm as true to my baby
And I can't see no reason why
Lord, man, I can't see no reason why
Every time I think about it
I hang my head and cry
Lord, I may be right or wrong
Hey and I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friends, baby
Enemies can't do you no wrongThere ain't but one thing, baby
That makes me drink
Say that you don't love me, Lord
I begin to thinkGotta good friend
Let her stay right by your side
God, give her all your spare time
Love and treat her rightLord, Lord, down at the riverside
Go on, go on down at the riverside
No, you won't be my old lady
Man, 'til I get satisfied
You know I may be right or wrong
Little girl, I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friends, baby
And your enemies can't do you no harm
