When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothin' I could do
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
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
And you'll almost lose your mind
Then you'll moanin'
Moanin' The Blues.
Aw 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
To walk through that front door
Then I'll stop moanin'
Moanin' The Blues.
