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 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 my 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
