Ida Cox — Moanin Groanin Blues

[Verse 1] Just a day ago I felt so happily But today my life is filled with misery Some old vamp or dirty tramp stole my man And they caught a train today, I understand Seems just like a wheel is turning in my brain If I don't get him back I'll surely go insane He's the all-and-all in life that I can't lose That's why I've got these moanin', groanin' blues [Chorus] All night I'm moanin', groanin' Mattress on my bed, pillow at my head All seem like a stone, I can't help but moan Nothing I can use seems to ease these moanin', groanin' blues [Verse 2] Lord, I'm goin' back to Dixieland I mean I'm goin' back to Dixieland And I won't stop roamin' 'til I find my man [Verse 3] Now folks, you might've had blues of nearly every kind But never was a person had no blues like mine Moanin' all day, wearin' myself away I tried once smoking hop, my misery didn't stop Nothing I can use seems to ease these moanin', groanin' blues [Outro] Moanin', groanin' blues
