Done Somebody Wrong Lyrics
The barrel-house told me, my baby caught that train 'n gone
The barrel-house told me, my baby caught that train 'n gone
It was all my fault, I musta' did somebody wrong.
Everything that happens, you know I am to blame.
Everything that happens, you know I am to blame.
I'm gonna find myself a doctor, perhaps my luck will change.
Ah, my mamma she told me, these days will surely come.
I wouldn't listen to her, had to have my fun.
The barrel-house told me, my baby caught that train 'n gone.
But it's all my fault, I musta' done somebody wrong, oh yeah.
The barrel-house told me, my baby caught that train 'n gone
The barrel-house told me, my baby caught that train 'n gone
It was all my fault, I musta' did somebody wrong. Oh play the blues...
The barrel-house told me, my baby caught that train 'n gone
It was all my fault, I musta' did somebody wrong.
Everything that happens, you know I am to blame.

It was all my fault, I musta' did somebody wrong. Oh play the blues...

Nice blues-rock song. Is the barrel-house he's referring to a bar? I can't think of what else it'd be.
@Stone Free Came here to discuss this very thing. "Barrel-house" generally means a bar / or the style of music played at old bars that were called that. A lot of songs say "barrel house all night long" which makes sense - drinking and playing music all night. But I wonder what "My barrel-house told" means. I wonder if a barrel-house might also refer to a lover with whom you meat at a barrel house. If so then this would make sense for this song. His lover told on...

His lover told on him, so that's why he's in trouble with his wife.
Pretty sure it's "The Bell Has Tolled" not "The Barrel-house told me"
@nysh I think the first 2 times it's "the bell has tolled" and the second two times it's "My barrel house told." But that does bring up the question: How does a barrel house tell ? (see discussion on the Q above).
