Why Do You Moan

[Verse 1]
I feel bad, always sad
Trouble, trouble drivin' me mad
Good old days long ago
Long ago, to come no more
Lord, the reason why you hear me weep and moan

[Chorus]
Mmm, mmm, Lord, Lordy
How my heart aches, soon it will break
I'm almost through, what will I do?
Lord, the reason why you hear me weep and moan

[Verse 2]
My mama's dead, my daddy too
That's the reason why, got these weepin', moanin' blues
So many days, stoled away and cried
I have been mistreated, I can't be satisfied
Lord, the reason why you hear me weep and moan

[Chorus]
Mmm, mmm, Lord, Lord, Lordy
How my heart aches, soon it will break
I'm almost through, what will I do?
Lord, the reason why you hear me weep and moan

[Verse 3]
I ain't got no friends, I ain't got no home
And there's no place, mama, I can call my own
Good old days long ago
Long ago, to come no more
Lord, the reason why you hear me moan these blues

[Chorus]
Mmm, mmm
How my heart aches, soon it will break
I'm almost through, what will I do?
Lord, the reason why you hear me moan these blues

Mmm, mmm
How my heart aches, soon it'll break
I'm almost through, what will I do?
Lord, the reason why you hear me moan these blues
I mean the blues
