When You Got A Good Friend (Robert Johnson)

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 of your spare time, love and treat her right

I mistreated my baby, and I can't see no reason why
I mistreated my baby, but I can't see no reason why
Everytime I think about it, I just wring my hands and cry

Wonder could I bear apologize, or would she sympathize with me
Mmmmmm mmmm mmmm, would she sympathize with me
She's a brown skin woman, just as sweet as a girl friend can be

Mmmm mmmm, babe, I may be right ay wrong
Baby it's yo'y opinion, oh, I may be right ay wrong
Watch your close friend, baby, then your ene'ies can't do no harm

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 of your spare time, love and treat her right

Hi Folks,

Best Wishes,
Jesse

@DerSekundenfaenger Thank you Tobias! :), yes its a Wasburn D10-12 which was a 12 string when i bought it, but as you have seen i have modified it to a 6 string, i had that in mind when i bought it because i wanted a guitar with a wider nut then usual with good wide string separation so it will be better for fingerstyle playing, i have hands of a yeti so its really was uncompterble to play on the Martin fingerpicking though its sound blows away the Washburn.but i took it as an experiment...
