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 right I'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 wrong There ain't but one thing, baby That makes me drink Say that you don't love me, Lord I begin to think Gotta good friend Let her stay right by your side God, give her all your spare time Love and treat her right Lord, 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
