The Wrong Man - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE WRONG MAN. Copyright. 1890, by M. Witmark & Sons. Written and Composed by Harrington & Le Brunn. 
One night my beau was rather late in calling round for me. So when I heard a loud tat-tat, thinks I "that must be he," So I rushed in the passage and, no chance of courtship missing. All in the dark I kissed him twice, then found that I'd been, kissing The wrong man, the wrong man-was that not awful rum? The wrong man, the wrong man, oh! Jerusalem; I never was in such a fix before, pity me if you can, I thought I should fall, for I'd given them all to the wrong, wrong man. 
A fellow once, for love of me, would sing on our back wall, "What, there again, young man," I thought your cheek shall have a fall; So I got a pail of water, and the form below I covered. Then I let go the pailful, and I found I'd almost smothered The wrong man, the wrong mail-was that not awful rum? The wrong man, the wrong man, oh! Jerusalem; I never was in such a fix before, pity me if you can, For there on the spot I emptied the lot on the wrong, wrong man. 
A fellow once called me a false, deceitful little flirt; I went and told my sweetheart Joe, and he was awful hurt. Says I, "He lives at number six." Says Joe, "He'll get a milling"; And when I followed Joe, I found him pretty nearly killing The wrong man, the wrong man-was that not awful rum The wrong man, the wrong man, oh! Jerusalem; I never was in such a fix be fore, pity me if you can, He was spoiling the clothes and punching the nose of the wrong, wrong man.
