Moanin' Low Songtext
von Billie Holiday with Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra

Moanin′ low, my sweet man, I love him so
Though he's mean as can be
He′s the kind of man needs the kind of a woman like me

Gonna die if my sweet man should pass me by
If I die where'll he be
He's the kind of a man needs the kind of a woman like me


Don′t know any reason why he treats me so poorly
What have I gone and done?
Makes me troubles double with his worries
When surely, I ain′t deserving of none

Moanin' low, my sweet man is gonna go
When he goes, oh Lordy
He′s the kind of a man needs the kind of a woman like me
