"World Gone Wrong"

This is me trying to be a 1930s American bluesman and playing "World Gone Wrong". I kinda like the solo towards the end. It's a 'trad.' song... I got my version from my Dylan songbook, but I haven't listened to the Dylan version for some time.

I think my English diction has somewhat improved by all this singing stuff, which is one of the reasons i continue playing English songs instead of butchering the Danish classics, but I'm sure I'm still far from convincing.



WORLD GONE WRONG

Strange things have happened, like 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 morning, ain't got no home.
No use in worrying, '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 didn't leave you 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 loving and treat you kind,
But it seems like you never right, you got no loyal 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 treat you kind,
Praise the Good Lord to get her out of 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.
