Morning News? Songtext
von Joe Louis Walker

There once was a man, who loved to sing the blues
He′d two pair of pants and just one pair of shoes
But when he'd moan that lowdown dirty blues
People come a-runnin′ from miles around
Just to hear what he was puttin' down
That is why they call him
The Moanin' News
The Moanin′ News

Late at night, when he start to make his move
He irons his pants, and shines those pair of shoes
And then he moan that gutbucket downhome blues, hmm
People would begin to jump and shout
After they had heard what he was talkin′ about
That is why they call him
The Moanin' News
The Moanin′ News


He'd start to moan
He′d say, "A-hoo, a-hoo"
He'd start to moan
He′d say, "A-hoo, a-hoo"

People come a-runnin' from far away
Just to hear what the man had to say
That is why they call him
The Moanin' News
The Moanin′ News

Later on, when he finally found success
He′d come back home, and try to get some rest
And he could moan, that funky urban blues
Now that you're in, you turn on your TV
You never guessed who you might see
The man they used to call

The Moanin′ News
The Moanin' News
The Moanin′ News
The Moanin' News

And he would moan
He′d say, "A-hoo"
And he would moan
He'd say, "A-hoo"
