(Hank Williams)

Well, 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
Lordy, what am I comin' to
I just keep moanin', moanin' the blues.

Well, I wrote a nice long letter
Aayin' mama please come home
Your daddy is lonesome
And all I do is moan.

Well, I've been lovin' that gal for so doggone long
I can't afford to lose her now
Well, 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.

Well, 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
Won't you 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'm 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...
