WHEN YOU GOT A GOOD FRIEND   by 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 
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
