Lyrics of Moanin' the blues

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothin' i could do
Said 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"

Well 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
And now i'm moanin', moanin' the blues

Well if you want a good gal to stay around
You gotta treat her nice and kind
'coz if you do her wrong, she'll leave this town
And you'll almost lose your mlind
Then you'll moanin', moanin' the blues

Baby, baby, baby, honey baby, please come home
Your daddy is lonesome and all i do is moan

Well 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
And now i'm moanin', moanin' the blues
