You can
count your friends on one hand
On one finger, if the truth be told
And if you've got a true blue friend,
never let him go
Back when we were all colored people,
Willie B was a friend of mine
He was my East Blue crew,
they were all no good in bad times
Do all the good in bad times
Time should make friendship
grow stronger
When you have a true blueprint
Some people let me water
To forget them is a sin
Don't let distance separate you
A career of pride can drive you apart
Cause a friend who goes way backwards
Is a part of your heart
Is a part of your heart
Willie B. & B
Goodbye old friend
I know I'll see you again
Willie B. & B, goodbye old friend
I know I'll see you again
Came from Tupelo, Mississippi
To my lakeshore town
I was the rhythm and he was the blues
We would always have a rhyme
We were young and full of
so many schemes
How to make it big with
these musical dreams
But somehow those dreams got all the way
And worst of all, let our friendship stray
And now he's gone, that's what I say
Will he be and be, goodbye old friend,
I know I'll see you again
Will he be and be, goodbye old friend,
I know I'll see you again
Will he be and be, goodbye old friend,
I know I'll see you again
Will he be in me?
I loved you brother, you were like no other
Will he be in me?
Will he be in me?
Will he be in me?
