MADELEINE PEYROUX - Lovesick Blues lyrics

(Bessie Smith, Irving Mills & Cliff friend)

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<a href="

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
