Charley Pride - Moanin' The Blues lyrics

rate me

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 oh 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

[ steel - guitar ]

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 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

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
