Merle Haggard - Moanin' The Blues lyrics

rate me

(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 yellin' what am I comin' to

And I just keep moanin' moanin' the blues

Well 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

Can't afford to lose her now

I thought I was right but I must have been wrong

Because my head is startin' to bow

And I just keep moanin' moanin' the blues.

--- Instrumental ---

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 lovin' 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 startin' to bow

And I just keep moanin' moanin' the blues...
