Moanin' Low — Billie Holiday

Ralph rainger / howard dietz

Moanin low, my sweet man, I love him so

Though hes mean as can be

Hes 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 whereii he be

Hes the kind of a man needs the kind

Of a woman like me

Dont 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 aint deserving of none

Moanin low

My sweet man is gonna go

When he goes, oh lordy

Hes the kind of a man needs the kind

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

Though hes mean as can be

Hes 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 whereii he be

Hes the kind of a man needs the kind

Of a woman like me

Dont 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 aint deserving of none

Moanin low

My sweet man is gonna go

When he goes, oh lordy

Hes the kind of a man needs the kind

Of a woman like me
