When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There was nothig I could do
But mosey around with the head in my hand
Lord what am I coming to
I now I am moaning, moaning the blues

I wrote a nice long letter
Saying mama please come home
Your daddy is lonesome
And all I do is moan

I been loving that girl for so doggone long
I cant afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must have been wrong
Because my head is starting to bounce
I now I am moaning, moaning the blues

If you want a good gil to stay around
You got tp treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she will leave this town
And you'll almost lose your mind
And you’ll be moaning, moaning the blues

Ah baby, baby, baby
Honey baby, please come home
Your daddy is lonesome
And all I do is moan

I promise you baby that I will be good
And I will never be bad no more
I'm sitting here waiting for you right now
To walk through that front door
And I’ll stop moaning, moaning the blues
And I’ll be moaning, moaning the blues
And I’ll just keep moaning, moaning the blues
