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
