lyrics

You friend of mine
I won't let you down
People talk about you
And run you around

Old friend
Old friend of mine
I won't quit you
Those blues, I've known them, too

Whatever you do
In the name of your game
I may not understand it
But it's still the same

Old friend
Old friend of mine
I won't quit you
Those blues, I've known them, too

And you look around
For a helping hand
People grin at you
Like you're some kind of crazy man

Old friend
Old friend of mine
I won't quit you
Those blues, I've known them, too

And those sly old stories
Come back to you
And people are believing
What you know ain't true

Old friend
Old friend of mine
I won't quit you
Those blues, I've known them, too

So whatever you do
For wealth or fame
You get to feeling low down
Just call on my name

Old friend
Old friend of mine
I won't quit you
Those blues, I've known them, too
