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, '€œMy 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
