If you've got troubles And you need a helpin' hand, If you've got troubles And you need a helpin' hand, If you've got troubles And you need a helpin' hand, Come to me, I will be your friend
Chorus: I will be your friend, I will be your friend. If you've got troubles And you need a helpin' hand, Come to me, I will be your friend.
If you are hungry And you've got no place to stay, If you are hungry And you've got no place to stay, If you are hungry And you've got no place to stay, Come to me, I will be your friend. I will be your friend (oh Lordy!), I will be your friend. If you are hungry And you've got no place to stay, Come to me, I will be your friend.
If you are lonely And you've got nobody to love (have mercy!), If you are lonely And you've got no one to love, If you are lonely And you've got nobody to love, Come to me, I will be your friend.
I will be your friend, I will be your friend. If you are lonely And you need somebody to love, Come to me, I will be your friend.
If you've got troubles And you need a helpin' hand, If you've got troubles And you need a helpin' hand, If you've got troubles And you need a helpin' hand, Come to me, I will be your friend
(Chorus) I will be your friend, I will be your friend. If you've got troubles And you need a helpin' hand, Come to me, I will be your friend.
