Moanin’ the Blues Songtext
von Merle Haggard and The Strangers

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.

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...
