[Verse 1]
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
Lord what am I coming to
I just keep Moaning

[Chorus]
Moaning the blues

[Verse 2]
I wrote a nice, long letter
Saying mama please come home
Your daddy is lonesome
And all I do is moan
I been loving that gal for so doggone long
I can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must of been wrong
'Cause my head is starting to bow

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
If you want a good gal to stay around
You gotta treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town
And you'll almost lose your mind
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Aw! 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'm sitting here waiting for you right now
To walk through that front door

[Chorus]
