Let her stay right by your side
And I can't see no reason why
I'm as true to my baby
Gotta good friend
No, you won't be my old lady
Let her stay right by your side
Love and treat her right
God, give her all your spare time
You know I may be right or wrong
Hey and I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friends, baby
Say that you don't love me, Lord
And treat her right
When you gotta good friend
Man, 'til I get satisfied
Lord, man, I can't see no reason why
There ain't but one thing, baby
I begin to think
Lord, Lord, down at the riverside
That makes me drink
Little girl, I may be right or wrong
Every time I think about it
Lord, I may be right or wrong
Give all your spare time to her
Go on, go on down at the riverside
Enemies can't do you no wrong
I hang my head and cry
Watch your close friends, baby
