I've been moanin', woman, ev'ry since you been gone
Says, I went back home and I looked up on the shelf
Says, I went back home and I looked up on the shelf
Says, I'm gettin' mighty tired, sleepin' by myself
Lord, I'm gettin' mighty tired, sleepin' by myself
Says, I went back home and I walked up and down the hall
Says, I went back home and I walked up and down the hall
Says, I spied another mule, crawlin' in my stall
Says I moaned early in the mornin', moaned it late at night
Moaned early in the mornin', moaned it late at night
I was tryin' to moan to your satisfaction 'til I treat my woman right
Says, my moan's gonna moan 'til I treat my baby right
