You're a Real Good Friend Songtext
von Ernest Tubb

When I was broke and blue I gave advice to you
Ah you′re a true blue friend
You helped me pay my rent
I charged you ten percent
ah that's what I call a real good friend
When I was sick ol′ scout you took my girl friend out
On me you can depend
oh what a pal you were
I even married her
you're a real good friend
Instrumental
Here's a cigar or two that′s mighty nice of you
You′re a real good friend
but don't stand too close to me
It might go off you see
you′re a real good friend
I borrowed your car last night
you brought it back alright
Smashed from end to end
I may have had a crash


But I filled it up with gas
you're a real good friend
Instrumental
I told some folks the facts about your income tax
Now you′re a real good friend
but who did you tell it to
Internal revenue
now you're a real good friend
If I should ever be governor of Tennessee
I′ll prove my friendship then
oh what will you do for me
Dog catcher you will be
you're a real good friend
Instrumental
I recorded a song you wrote
I sang it note for note
Well thanks my real good friend
I think it will be a hit
So I put my name on it
now you're a real good friend
Let′s sing a sweet duet
we′ll make a team I'll bet
Let our voices blend
I′ll sing the melody
I'll sing the harmony
cause we′re both real good friends
