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.
