Jimmy Reed - When You're Doing Alright Lyrics

(Johnny Mae Dunson)

Don't say nothin' if you don't know what you're talkin' about
Don't say nothin' if you don't know what you're talkin' about
Don't worry that 'bout your friend, knew just what you got

Don't start to tell your business, tellin' it to your friends
Don't start tellin' your business, to your friends
Gonna tell ya right now, that's where your troubles begin

If ya don't believe me, try it for yourself
If ya don't believe me, try it for yourself
If ya tell your friends, they go on an'tell someone else

When you're doin' alright, your friends are jealous of you
When you're doin' alright, your friends they jealous of you
They-a tell a lie on ya, try to break your heart in two
