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="http://www.testimania.com/">Testi Canzoni</a>
|
Sue came home one afternoon
|
And found an empty dining room
|
|
Without a word
|
A turtledove had flown
|
Sue began to moan
|
ˇ°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
|
