moanin' the blues

Singer:haggard, merle

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 yellin' what am i comin' to

and 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. i've been lovin' that gal for so doggone long

can't afford to lose her now

i thought i was right but i must have been wrong

because my head is startin' to bow

and i just keep moanin' moanin' the blues. well 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've been lovin' that gal for so doggone long

can't afford to lose her now

i thought i was right but i must have been wrong

because my head is startin' to bow

and i just keep moanin' moanin' the blues.
