Why Do You Moan?

I feel bad, always sad

Trouble, trouble drivin' me mad

Good old days long ago

Long ago, to come no more

Lord, the reason why you hear me weep and moan

Mmm, mmm, Lord, Lordy

How my heart aches, soon it will break

I'm almost through, what will I do?

Lord, the reason why you hear me weep and moan

My mama's dead, my daddy too

That's the reason why, got these weepin', moanin' blues

So many days, stoled away and cried

I have been mistreated, I can't be satisfied

Lord, the reason why you hear me weep and moan

Mmm, mmm, Lord, Lord, Lordy

How my heart aches, soon it will break

I'm almost through, what will I do?

Lord, the reason why you hear me weep and moan

I ain't got no friends, I ain't got no home

And there's no place, mama, I can call my own

Good old days long ago

Long ago, to come no more

Lord, the reason why you hear me moan these blues

Mmm, mmm

How my heart aches, soon it will break

I'm almost through, what will I do?

Lord, the reason why you hear me moan these blues

Mmm, mmm

How my heart aches, soon it'll break

I'm almost through, what will I do?

Lord, the reason why you hear me moan these blues

I mean the blues
