[00:00.00]It's a mean black moan：and it's lying front of my door
[00:15.94]When I leave chicago：lord I ain't coming back no more
[00:31.89]Ninety men were laid off：at the railroad shop
[00:47.83]And the strike in chicago：lordy lord it just won't stop
[01:03.78]I'm tired of mean black moans：friends lying front of my door
[01:19.72]But when I leave chicago lord：i ain't coming back here no more
[01:35.67]All around my bed
[01:57.68]
[02:02.89]I wish somebody：might be able to kill the black moan dead
[02:18.19]
[02:22.92]Every morning：lord rent man is at my door
[02:27.22]
[02:30.50]And my man hasn't worked lord：in two or three weeks or more
[02:36.11]
[02:39.50]It's all I can do lord：ah fight for my life
[02:53.37]
[02:57.18]But when the strike is over：lord I will be all right
