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
