BILLIE HOLIDAY - MOANIN' LOW lyrics

Ralph Rainger / Howard Dietz

Moanin' low, my sweet man, I love him so

Though he's mean as can be

He's the kind of man needs the kind

Of a woman like me

Gonna die if my sweet man should pass me by

If I die where'ii he be

He's the kind of a man needs the kind

Of a woman like me

Don't know any reason why

He treats me so poorly

What have I gone and done

Makes me troubles double with his worries

When surely I ain't deserving of none

Moanin' low

My sweet man is gonna go

When he goes, oh Lordy

He's the kind of a man needs the kind

Of a woman like meMoanin' low, my sweet man, I love him so

Though he's mean as can be

He's the kind of man needs the kind

Of a woman like me

Gonna die if my sweet man should pass me by

If I die where'ii he be

He's the kind of a man needs the kind

Of a woman like me

Don't know any reason why

He treats me so poorly

What have I gone and done

Makes me troubles double with his worries

When surely I ain't deserving of none

Moanin' low

My sweet man is gonna go

When he goes, oh Lordy

He's the kind of a man needs the kind

Of a woman like me
