Lovesick Blues
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
