Moanin' the Blues

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?

I just keep moanin'

Moanin' the blues

I wrote a nice, long letter

Sayin' Mama please come home

Your daddy is lonesome

And all I do is moan

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' ve been wrong

'Cause my head is startin' to bow

And now I'm moanin'

Moanin' the blues

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 mlind

Then you'll moanin'

Moanin' the blues

Oh baby, baby, baby

Honey baby, please come home

Your daddy is lonesome and all I do is moan

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

Then I'll stop moanin' moanin' the blues

Then I'll stop moanin' moanin' the blues
