Moanin' The Blues

(album: The Complete Hank Williams - 1998)

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 coming to
I just keep Moaning
Moa-oaning the blues.

I wrote a nice, long letter
Saying mama please come home
Your dad-ad-dy is lon-one-some
And all I do is moan ...
I been loving 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 starting to bow
And now I'm Moaning
Moa-oaning The Blues.

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 tonw
And you'll almost lose your mind
Then you'll moanin'; Moa-oaning The Blues.

Aw! baby, baby, baby
Honey baby, please come home
Your dad-ad-dy is lon-one-some 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 sitting here waiting for you right now
To walk through that front door
Then I'll stop moanin'; Moa-oaning The Blues.
