When You Got A Good Friend 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 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.
Any time I think about it
I just wring my hands and cry.

Wonder could I ever apologize
Or would she sympathize with me?
Would she sympathize with me?
She's a brown-skin woman,
Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be.
Babe, I may be right or wrong.
Babe, it's your opinion,
Well, I may be right or wrong.
Watch your close friend, baby,
Then your enemies can't do you no harm.

Cover art for When You Got A Good Friend lyrics by Robert Johnson

It really gives the feel of esential blues.. In some way it reminds me of super hero movies where vilains tend to kidnap the girl of a good hero character.. So You better watch your friend close, receive the fullfilment for your heart.. and no one will take it from you! This is some hardcore blues, baby! R.Johnson - love it!
