Moanin' the Blues

(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

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.



--- Instrumental ---



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

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

I'm sittin' here waitin' for you right now to walk through that front door

Then I'll stop moanin', moanin' the blues...
