Charley Pride - Moanin’ the Blues lyrics

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
Oh Lord what am I comin' to
I just keep moanin' moanin' the blues
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
I can't afford to lose her now
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

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 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
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
