I Lost My Sugar in Salt Lake City [#]

William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American singer of ballads and a bandleader of the swing era. Eckstine's smooth baritone and distinctive vibrato broke down barriers throughout the 1940s, first as leader of the original bop big-band, then as the first romantic black male in popular music. Eckstine's recording of "I Apologize" (MGM Pop Single, 1948) was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. more »

I lost my sugar in Salt Lake City 
Oh, why did I go there 
I should have stayed down in New Orleans 
And never gone nowhere 

A girl with sweet talk from Kansas City 
Her words were sweet like wine 
She bought him diamonds and limousines 
She stole that man o' mine 

When night comes a-creepin' 
For me there's no sleeping 
What she sews, she'll be reapin' 
'Cause she done me wrong
 
I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City 
The day I heard the news 
He left me deep in my solitude 
With a Salt Lake City blues

With a Salt Lake City blues
