[Verse 1]
When you got a good friend
Let her stay right by your side
When you got a good friend
Let her stay right by your side
Give all your spare time
Oh, and treat her right

[Verse 2]
I'm mistreat my baby
And I can't see no reason why
Oh man, I can't see no reason why
Every time I think about it
I hang my head and cry

[Verse 3]
Hey, 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

[Verse 4]
There ain't but one thing, baby
That makes me drink
Say that you don't love me, Lord
I begin to think
[Verse 5]
Got a good friend
Let her stay right by your side
Gotta give her all your spare time
Love and treat her right

[Verse 6]
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

[Verse 3]
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
