I've got a lovesick tale to tell to you Though it ain't no affair of mine It's 'bout a gal named Sue and a boy named Lou They were fighting all the time Sue came home one afternoon And found an empty dining room Without a word her turtledove had flown She began to moan My sweetie went away but he didn't say where He didn't say when, he didn't say why Oh, bid me goodbye I'm blue as I can be I know he loved another one but he didn't say who He didn't say when, he didn't say what His mama has got That took my sweetie from me I'm like a little lost sheep And I can't sleep But I keep trying to forget My trifling papa has left his mama 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 home
