Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somebody tell me
What's going wrong
I ain't seen my baby
In far too long
Somebody please tell me
What's going wrong
They say them ladies broke
And my baby's gone
[Verse 2]
Listen
It's been a couple of days
And a real dark night
I miss my only child
I ain't seen her since that night
She left home about eight
And never to return
Our body's floatin'
Floatin' into that river
[Verse 3]
I gotta know
What's going wrong
I ain't seen my baby
In far too long
Somebody please tell me
What's going wrong
I ain't seen my baby
In far too long
[Verse 4]
I been searching all round
Day and day and night
Somebody please tell me
I need to feel somebody
So many souls crying
How could it be
'Cause every step I take
I can't think oh Lord please rescue me
[Verse 5]
Somebody tell me
What's going wrong
I ain't seen my baby
In far too long
Somebody please tell me
What's going wrong
I ain't seen my baby
In far too long
[Verse 6]
Please somebody tell me
What's going wrong
I ain't seen my baby
In far too long
Somebody please tell me
What's going wrong
I ain't seen my baby
In far too long
[Verse 7]
Please somebody tell me
Yeah
Please somebody tell me
Yeah
Please somebody tell me
Yeah
Please somebody tell me
[Verse 8]
Please somebody tell me
Tell me
Please somebody tell me
Tell me
Please somebody tell me
Tell me
Please somebody tell me
Please somebody tell me
Come on and tell me
Please somebody tell me
Just tell me
Please somebody tell me
I gotta know
Please somebody tell me
I know you know
Somebody tell me
Oh my God
Somebody tell me
Oh my God
