Story behind the song
It just popped into my head after a four month "writer's block" and I had to do it.
Lyrics
MOANIN' AND GROANIN' I never have had nothin' but the clothes on my back All I've owned would fill a gunny-sack I've never laid me down In a bed that was my own I was born on the wrong side of the track (Chorus) Oh, I've been moanin' I've been groanin' Lord you know, I've led a rugged life Oh, I've been cryin' I've been dyin' Since the mornin' these ol eyes saw their first light Well, my Mama never knew When I walked away from home So many kids, she didn't know I'd gone With holes in my shoes I set out to chase the blues Now it's too late to right every wrong (repeat chorus) I never had no one Who wanted me to stay My raisin's always got in the way Once I went back home So tired and so alone No one was there, they'd all moved far away (repeat chorus--- carry out) Written by Betty L. Johnson
