Lyrics for Song: Moanin' the Blues
Lyrics for Album: There's a Little Bit of Hank in Me [RCA Victor] [1980]
(Hank Williams)
When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothing I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands
Oh 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've been lovin' that gal for so doggone long
I can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must have been wrong
'Cause my head is startin' to bow.
And now I'm 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.
--- Instrumental ---
If you want a good gal to stay around
You got to treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town
And you'll almost lose your mind.
Then you'll be 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
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...
