Every norning there's moanin'
'Cause of all the troubles I take
Life's a losing gamble to me
Yes I woke moanin'

Every morning I'm moanin'
I'm alone and I'm crying the blues
I'm so tired of paying my dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

Don't I spend many days and nights
Alone with my blues
And I pray, really truly pray
Someone will come and bring me relief

Moanin' 'cos of all the troubles I've seen
Life's a losing gamble to me
'Cos I woke up a moanin'

Moanin'
Every day and night
I'll stop moanin' baby
Everything will be alright

Lord I spend many days and nights
Alone with my grief
And I pray, really truly pray
Someone will come and bring me relief

Moanin' 'cos of all the worries I've seen
Life's a losing gamble to me
'Cos I woke up a moanin'

Moanin' baby
Moanin'
Moanin'.
