[Intro]
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Yeah
Whoa
Ay-ay ay ay

[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 levees broke
And my baby's gone
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

[Chorus]
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 2]
I've been searching all around
Day and day and night
Somebody please tell me
I need to feel some light
So many souls crying
How could this be?
'Cause every step I take, I can't think
Oh Lord, please rescue me

[Chorus]
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

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
[Outro]
Please somebody tell me
Yeah-ah
Please somebody tell me
Yeah-ah
Please somebody tell me
Yeah-ah
Please somebody tell me

Please somebody tell me!
Tell me what's going on
Please somebody tell me!
Tell me
Please somebody tell me!
Tell me what's going on
Please somebody tell me!
{Somebody tell me}
Please somebody tell me!
Come on and tell me
Please somebody tell me!
Just tell me
Please somebody tell me!
I got to know
Please somebody tell me!
I know you know
{Somebody tell me}
Somebody tell me
Oh my God
Somebody tell me
Oh my God
Somebody tell me...
