Lonnie Johnson Lyrics
"Moanin Blues (1960)"

Mmm, mmm, hmm hmm, hmm, mmm, hmm, mmm, mmm, mmmmmm.
Hmm, hmm, hmm hmm, hmm, hmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Mmm, mmm, hmm hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm ,

Hmmmmmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm, hmm, mmm, mmm.
Hmmmmmm, hmm mmm mmm hmm mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Oh, ho, ho, in the mornin', same ol' thing again.

Mmm, someday, someday, baby, and it won't be long.
Yes, someday, baby, baby, and it won't be long.
You can mistreat me while I'm with you, but you can't do it when I'm gone.

Yes, I ain't gonna cry, and I ain't gonna beg you to come back home.
Yes, I ain't gonna cry, ain't gonna beg you to come back home.
Yes, you don't miss me now baby, but you cry for me when I'm gone.

Yes, you left home 'leven o'clock this mornin', come back home at half pass five.
Yes, you left at 'leven this mornin', come back home at half pass five.
And you say you just been 'round the corner, baby, I just can't understand that lie.

Hmm, mmm, mmm mmm, hmm, mmm, hmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, hmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Hmm, hmm, hmm hmm, hmm, hmm, mmm, same ol' thing again.
Nothin' but the worried blues, bearin' down on me like drops of rain.
