When my baby moved out and the blues moved in There wasn't nothin' I could do But mosey around with my head in my hands Yelling, "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 Hey, baby, baby, baby, honey baby, 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
