Every morning see me moanin'
Cuz of all the trouble I see
Life's a loosin' gamble to me
Can'ts and won'ts have got me moanin'
Cuz every evening find me moanin'
I'm alone and cryin' the blues
I'm so tired of payin' no due
Can'ts and won'ts have got me moanin'
Lord I spend many of days and nights alone with my grief
Alone with my grief
Lord I pray, really and truly pray
Somebody will come and bring me relief.
Every morning see me moanin'
Cuz of all the trouble I see
Life's a loosing gamble to me
Can'ts and won'ts have got me moanin'
(Tell me about it, baby)
Lord I pray, really and truly pray to find some relief
(You know what I'm talkin' 'bout, girl)
Lord I spend many of thousand days
(You know I gotta say it, baby)
Lord I pray, really and truly pray to get some relief, yeah
To love
