Recorded by Hank Snow Moanin' my life slowly away Sittin' here waitin' for the new commin' day They try to cheer me as I trudge on my way Moanin' for you Can't seem to hide it and why should I try Good Lord, he knows it up there in the sky A million heartaches with your last goodbye Left me moanin' for you Work these poor fingers way down to the bone When things seemed right my whole world went wrong Then I found your letter, baby, sayin' so long I've been moanin' for you They find me alone at the close of the day Countin' each petal from your rose bouquet Guess I'll be here till eternity Moanin' for you This ole rockin' chair, I have rocked it apart The last spark of flame in my fireplace is dark But this old flame that's burnin' deep down in my heart Keeps me moanin' for you Work these poor fingers way down to the bone When things seemed right my whole world went wrong Then I found your letter, baby, sayin' so long I've been moanin' for you
