Lovesick Blues lyrics

I've got a lovesick tale to tell to you

Though it ain't no fail of mine, it's about a gal

Named Sue and a boy named Lou

They were fightin' all the time

Sue came home one afternoon

And found an empty dining room

Without a word a turtledove had flown

Sue began to moan, ‽My sweetie went away

But he didn't say where, he didn't say when

He didn't say why, without biddin' me goodbye

Oh I'm blue as I can be”

I know he loves another one but he didn't say who

He didn't say when, he didn't say what

His momma has got that took my sweetie from me

I'm like a little lost sheep and I can't sleep

But I keep tryin' to forget, my travelin' poppa

He left his momma all alone, I groan

My sweetie went away but he didn't say where

He didn't say when, he didn't say why

I know I'll die, why don't he hurry on home
