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