The Moanin' Blues

I got a letter from my baby, and it said that she was dying
I got a letter from my baby, and it said that she was dying
I have to catch this mail train, I'm going back home crying

And when I come in your town babe, I didn't come here to stay long
When I come in your town babe, I didn't come here to stay long
[?] but my baby knows that I was gone

Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy Lawdy Lord
Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy Lawdy Lord
The only girl that I love, she treats me like a dog

I'm gonna to leave you baby, your crying won't make me stay
I'm gonna to leave you baby, your crying won't make me stay
Well it's just as I told you, you're gonna need my help someday

Lord I'm a changed man, you can only change your way
Lord I'm a changed man, you can only change your way
Well the way you treat me mama, you're gonna be sorry someday

Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy Lawdy Lord
