Verse 1: Chorus:
Every mornin' find me moanin' Lord I spend plenty of days and nights
Cuz of all the trouble I see alone with my grief (alone with my grief)
Life's a loosing gamble to me and I pray, really and truly pray
Ev'ry body knows I moanin' somebody will come and bring me relief

Verse 2: Verse 3:
Every evening find me moanin' (Yes, Lord) Every mornin' find me moanin' (Yes, Lord)
I'm alone and crying the blues (Yes, Lord) Cuz of all the trouble I see
I'm so tired of paying these dues (Yes, Lord) Life's a loosing gamble to me
Ev'ry body knows I'm moanin' (Yes, Lord) Cares and woes have got me moanin'
