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
