Well my baby moved out and the blues moved in there wadn't nothing I could do But mosey around with my head in my hands Lordy what am I comin' to 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 Well I've been lovin' that gal for so doggone long I can't afford to lose her now Well I thought I was right but I must have been wrong cause my head is startin' to bow And now I'm moanin' moanin' the blues Well if you want a good gal to stay around you got to 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 won't you 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'm sittin' here waitin' for you right now to walk through that front door Then I'll stop moanin' moanin' the blues Then I'll stop moanin' moanin' the blues
