Jones, George - Everything Ain't Right Lyrics






I'm gonna build a private graveyard
On the outskirts of town
And if my baby don't get home tonight
I'm a-gonna lower her down
'Cause it ain't right
Lord, no, ev'rything ain't right

I saw her out just the other night
She was really on a spree
She was makin' love to some other guy
Right there in front of me
That ain't right
Unt-uh, no, ev'rything ain't right

But I'm a-gonna buy her pretty things
And try to change her mind
'Cause I gotta have her with me tonight
I need her lovin' all of the time
My heart ain't right
Lord, no, ev'rything ain't right

I could build the highest bridges
Over waters deep and wide
To have her love back with me again
It would ease this pain inside
The world ain't right
Unt-uh, no, ev'rything ain't right

And I find myself in darkness
You took away the light
And I know there's never been a fool
Like me, before tonight
That ain't right
Lord, no, ev'rything ain't right

But I think I'll write my will out
And sign it before too long
You ain't a-gonna spend my money, unt-uh
Not after this poor boy's gone
That wouldn't be right
Lord, no, ev'rything ain't right...

  1. f.... ....

    Thanks for your comment, and session details.I remember reading that George was so impressed with Hargus Robbins' piano on White Lightning, that he insisted on using him on subsequent sessions.Seems very much like the Robbins style on this one.
