Friends will quickly leave you,

Slight you and deceive you,

Or will not believe you

If you have a wrong.

Those who hurt will hate you,

Enemies will slate you,

And as crank disrate you

If you have a wrong.

But if you are righted

Those who coolly slighted

Will be so delighted!

Said so all along!

But you then can show them

That you would forego them,

As too well you know them

Since you’ve had a wrong.

But your friends, God bless them!

Take their hands and press them,

You’ll not have to guess them

If you’ve had a wrong.
