Mingo Fishtrap Things Ain't What They Was lyrics

Said the wind came on so fast and strong
we did not have the time to find the same, mmmm
Oh, and down below the ground
we sat and watched that Virgin Mary candle burn,

When a thousand marching bands at almost dawn we opened up the door, mmmm
said now everything we've ever know was gone-
Things ain't what they was before

She met him on a Friday night-
By Sunday afternoon they'd run away, mmmm
Well I pieced it all together Wednesday evening-
with a postcard from L.A.

Thursday morning came and found me on the ground behind old lover's bar,
said the only love I'd ever known was gone-
Things ain't what they was before

Oh, Lord I don't mind the change in time
setters of the storm, oh no
when that new moon shines on you-
Things ain't what they was before

With whiskey on my breath
I sang a song about a love that I once knew, mmmm
and the pain in that refrain took on the meaning
when she walked into the room,


ooohhhh she told me she was sorry-
she could not live without me anymore, oh oh
said the only love she'd ever known was gone,
Things ain't what they was before

Oh, Lord I don't mind the change in time
setters of the storm, oh no
when that new moon shines on you-
Things ain't what they was before

Now eternity had passed without a word-
she gently took my hand,
said this ain't no rebound love affair-
I don't want no one night stand, mmmm

I pushed back from the bar with my guitar now and I headed for the door,
oooohhh I ain't nobody's stepping stone no more,
Things ain't what they was before

na na na oohh oh
oh I don't mind the change in time
setters of the storm, oh no
when that new moon shines on you-
