Moanin' The Blues - The AFRS Shows (Single Version)

Folks, we want you to get out your biggest and best welcome
For one of the nicest guys
And one of the most talented buddies a fella could have
He's a pal o'mine an'
So it's even more of a treat for me to say
Come on out here, Hank Williams!
Thank you Rick
Thankety-thank you we sure were pleased
To hear that you could fit in a visit
To us with your busy schedule an' all that, you know
Fit it in? Shucks man, I just been waitin' for you to ask me back
Well I see we've asked him, ah, in types of
I hope we're gonna get a chance to hear that latest hit record of yours
Called Moanin' the Blues
I just been waiting for you to ask me to do that
Well I asked you, s'pose you sing it
Let's go boys. Moanin' the Blues

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothing I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands
Lord, what am I comin' to
I just keep moanin', moanin' the blues

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 girl for so doggone long I can't afford to lose her now
Well, I thought I was right but I must have been wrong
'Cause my head is startin' to bow
And now I'm moanin', moanin' the blues

If you want y'good gal to stay around
You better treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town
And you'll almost lose your mind
Then you'll be moanin', moanin' the blues

Oh baby, baby, baby honey, baby, please come home
Your daddy is lonesome and all I do is moan
Well, I promise you baby that I'll be good and I'll never be bad no more
I'm sittin' here waitin' for you right now to walk through my front door
Then I'll stop moanin', moanin' the blues

Thank you very much, folks, we gonna have 'im
We're gonna get Hank back here in just a few minutes
Doggone he don't look like he's got another hit on his hands
We gonna get him back in just a few minutes, thank you a lot
