        G 
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 
     D                G

            D 
I just keep Moanin'

I can't afford to lose her now 
I thought I was right but I must of been wrong 
         D                   G

You gotta treat her nice and kind 
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town
