Moanin' The Blues

(album: A Working Man Can't Get Nowhere Today - 1977)

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 yelling what am I coming to
And I just keep moaning moaning the blues
Well I wrote a nice long letter saying mama please come home
Your daddy is lonesome and all I do is moan.

I've been loving that gal for so doggone long
Can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must have been wrong
Because my head is starting to bow
And I just keep moaning moaning the blues.

Well 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've been loving that gal for so doggone long
Can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must have been wrong
Because my head is starting to bow
And I just keep moaning moaning the blues...
