Lyrics Moanin' The Blues (Acetate Version 22) - 2019 - Remaster - Hank Williams

We got one here that I put together
I write a lot of songs Louis, now and then I write a
Sad song
Again I'll write a sadder one
Every now and then I write something pitiful and I think that's what happened when I wrote this one
Huh, alright, if I don't blow a tonsil
A little tune called, "Moanin' The Blues" do you ever moan 'em?

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothin' I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands
Lord, what am I comin' to?
I just keep moanin', moanin' the blues

I wrote a nice, long letter
Sayin', mama please come home
Your daddy is lonesome
And all I do is moan

I been lovin' that gal for so dog-gone long
I can't afford to lose her now
Well, I thought I was right but I must've been wrong
'Cause my head is startin' to bow
And now I'm moanin', moanin' the blues

If you want yo' good gal to stay around
You better treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town
And you'll almost lose your mind
Then you'll be moanin', moanin' the blues

Oh, baby, baby, baby
Honey baby, please come home
Your daddy is lonesome, all I do is moan
Well, I promise you baby that I'll be good
And I'll never be bad no more
I'm sittin' here waitin' for you right now
To walk through that front door
Then I'll stop moanin', moanin' the blues

Yeah, alright Hank
Moanin' the blues
That's a awful, that's a sad-, let's hear you say your mother's best flower like
Mother's best-, uh-huh, you know ladies
