Moanin' (1960, The Hottest New Group in Jazz) Songtext
von Lambert, Hendricks & Ross

Every morning find me moanin′
Yes Lord
'Cause of all the trouble I see
Yes Lord
Life′s a losing gamble to me
Yes Lord
Cares and woes have got me moanin'
Yes Lord

Every evening find me moanin'
Yes Lord
I′m alone and cryin′ the blues
Yes Lord
I'm so tired of payin′ these dues
Yes Lord
Everybody knows I'm moanin′
Yes Lord


Lord, I spend plenty of days and nights
Alone with my grief, alone with my grief
Lord, I pray, I really and truly pray
Somebody will come and make me believe

Every morning find me moanin'
Yes Lord
′Cause of all the trouble I see
Yes Lord
Life's a losing gamble to me
Yes Lord
Cares and woes have got me moanin'
Yes Lord

Every evening find me moanin′
Yes Lord
I′m alone and cryin' the blues
Yes Lord
I′m so tired of payin' these dues
Yes Lord
Everybody knows I′m moanin'
Yes Lord


Lord, I try, really and truly try
To find some relief, find some relief
Lord, I spend plenty of days and nights
Alone with my grief, alone with my grief
Lord, I pray, really and truly pray
To find some relief
Yes Lord
