I feel too bad
I'm feeling mighty sick and sore
So bad I feel
I said I'm feeling sick and sore
And so afraid
My man don't love me no more
Day in, day out
I'm worryin' about those blues
Day out, day in
I'm worrying about bad news
I'm so afraid
My man I'm goin' to lose

Moanin' low
My sweet man I love him so
Though he's mean as can be
He's the kind of man
Needs the kind of woman like me
Gonna die if sweet man should pass me by
If I die, where'll he be?
He's the kind of man
Needs the kind of woman like me
Don't know any reason why
He treats me so poorly
What have I gone and done?
Makes my trouble double
with these worries
When surely I ain't deservin' of none
Moanin' low
My sweet man is gonna go
When he goes, Oh, Lordee!
He's the kind of man
Needs the kind of woman like me

Moanin' low
My sweet man I love him so
Though he's mean as can be
He's the kind of man
Needs the kind of woman like me
Gonna die if sweet man should pass me by
If I die, where'll he be?
He's the kind of man
Needs the kind of woman like me
Don't know any reason why
He treats me so poorly
What have I gone and done?
Makes my trouble double
with these worries
When surely I ain't deservin' of none
Moanin' low
My sweet man is gonna go
When he goes, Oh, Lordee!
He's the kind of man
Needs the kind of woman like me
