Every mornin' find 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'

Every evening find me moanin'
I'm alone and crying the blues
I'm so tired of paying this dues
Everybody knows I'm moanin'

Lord I spend many of days and nights alone with my grief
And I pray, really and truly pray
Somebody will come and bring me relief

Every mornin' find 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'

Lord I try, really and truly try to find some relief
Lord I spend many of days and nights alone with my grief
Lord I pray, really and truly pray to find some relief
