Now, everything's wrong, ain't nothin'
right.
My man, he walked out on me tonight;
Can't eat, can't sleep,
I can't do nothin' but just moan
and weep,
Lord, everything's wrong, ain't
nothin' right!
Now, the clock in the hall, it refuses
to run,
It seems to know just what my man's
done,
I went to the river, the water
tasted like wine,
I'd lost my man and I didn't mind
dyin';
Lord, everything's wrong, ain't
nothin' right!
Oh, everything's wrong, ain't nothin'
right.
My man, he just walked out on me
tonight,
I never had such a feelin' before,
Till I heard my man go out and
slam the door,
Lord, everything's wrong, ain't
nothin' right.
