genre: 

(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...
