Moanin' the Blues

(Hank Williams)



Well, 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

Lordy, what am I comin' to

I just keep moanin', moanin' the blues.



Well, I wrote a nice long letter

Aayin' mama please come home

Your daddy is lonesome

And all I do is moan.



Well, I've been lovin' that gal for so doggone long

I can't afford to lose her now

Well, 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.



Well, 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

Won't you 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...
