I've got a lovesick tale to tell to youâ¨
Though it ain't no affair of mine
It's 'bout a gal named Sue and a boy named Louâ¨
They were fighting all the time
Sue came home one afternoon
And found an empty dining roomâ¨
Without a word her turtledove had flown
She began to moanâ¨
My sweetie went away but he didn't say whereâ¨
He didn't say when, he didn't say whyâ¨
Oh, bid me goodbyeâ¨
I'm blue as I can beâ¨I know he loved another one but he didn't say who
He didn't say when, he didn't say whatâ¨
His mama has gotâ¨
That took my sweetie from me
I'm like a little lost sheepâ¨
And I can't sleep
But I keep trying to forgetâ¨
My trifling papa has left his mama all alone, I groanâ¨
My sweetie went away but he didn't say where
He didn't say when, he didn't say why
I know I'll dieâ¨
Why don't he hurry home
