Strange things have happened

That never before

My baby told me

I would have to go



I can't be good no more

Once like I did before

I can't be good, baby

Honey, because the world's gone wrong



Feel bad this mornin'

Ain't got no home

No use a-worryin'

'Cause the world gone wrong



I can't be good no more

Once like I did before

I can't be good, baby

Honey, because the world's gone wrong



I told you, baby

Right to your head

If I did leave ya, I would

Have to kill you dead



I can't be good no more

Once like I did before

I can't be good, baby

Honey, because the world's gone wrong



I tried to be lovin'

And treat you mine

But it seems that now, right

Got no love in mind



I can't be good no more

Once like I did before

I can't be good, baby

Honey, because the world's gone wrong



If you have a woman

And she don't be kind

Pray to the good Lord, to

Get her off your mind



I can't be good no more

Once like I did before

I can't be good, baby

Honey, because the world's gone wrong



Then, when you've been good, now

Can't do no more

Just tell her kindly

There is the front door



I can't be good no more

Once like I did before

I can't be good, baby

Honey, because the world's gone wrong



Pack up my suitcase

Give me my hat

No use to ask me, babe because

I'll never be back



I can't be good no more

Once like I did before

I can't be good, baby

Honey because the world's gone wrong.
