Moanin Groanin Blues by Ida Cox Lyrics

[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
