Moanin' the Blues

[Verse 1]

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in

There wasn't nothin' I could do

But mosey around with my head in my hands

Lord, what am I comin' to?

[Refrain]

I just keep moanin'

Moanin' the blues

[Bridge]

I wrote a nice, long letter

Sayin' mama please come home

Your daddy is lonesome

And all I do is moan

[Verse 2]

I been lovin' that gal for so doggone long

I can't afford to lose her now

I thought I was right but I must of been wrong

'Cause my head is startin' to bow

[Refrain]

And now I'm moanin'

Moanin' the blues

[Verse 3]

If you want a good gal to stay around

You gotta treat her nice and kind

If you do her wrong, she'll leave this town

And you'll almost lose your mind

[Refrain]

Then you'll be moanin'

Moanin' the blues

[Bridge]

Ah, baby, baby, baby

Honey baby, please come home

Your daddy is lonesome

And all I do is moan

[Verse 4]

I promise you, baby, that I'll be good

And I'll never be bad no more

I'm sittin' here waitin' for you right now

To walk through that front door

[Refrain]

Then I'll stop moanin'

Moanin' the blues
