Every mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and cryin' the blues
I'm so tired of payin' the dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

Every evenin' I am moanin'
'Cause of all the trouble I see
Life's a losin' gamble to me
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

Lord, I spend plenty o' days
And nights alone with my grief
And I pray, really and truly pray
Somebody will come and bring me relief

Every mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and cryin' the blues
I'm so tired of payin' the dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

Every mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and cryin' the blues
I'm so tired of payin' my dues
Everybody finds me moanin'

Every evenin' I'm moanin'
'Cause of all the trouble I see
Life's a losin' gamble to me
Everybody knows I'm moanin'
Lord, I spend plenty o' days
And nights alone with my grief
And I pray, really and truly pray
Somebody will come and bring me relief

Every mornin' finds me moanin'
I'm alone and cryin' the blues
I'm so tired of payin' the dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'
Moanin'
