Story about this misheard lyric by: norman k A famous country singer told me about a man in a 'local' band who sang it wrong, while this band opened for the big-name act. This song was popular at the time this took place, so it wasn't like he dug some 'old chestnut' out of the musical archives or anything. It was a current hit, but he got the words wrong. |

"Take This Job and Shove It"
The Lyrics: My woman done left
Why: "Done" is correctly used as a verb (with a helping verb) or an adjective, but never as an adverb.
