Eric Clapton When You Got a Good Friend song lyrics

(Robert Johnson)

When you got a good friend, that will stay right by your side [2x]

Give her all of your spare time, try to love and treat her right

I mistreated my baby, but I can't see no reason why [2x]

Anytime I think about it, I just wring my hands and cry

Wonder, could I bear apologize, or would she sympathize with me

Mmm, or would she sympathize with me

She's a brownskin woman, just as sweet as a girlfriend can be

Mmm, baby I may be right or wrong

Baby, it your opinion, I may be right or wrong

Watch your close friend, baby, then you enemies can't do you no harm

When you got a good friend that will stay right by your side [2x]

Give her all of your spare time, love and treat her right
