My Sweety Went Away (She Didn't Say Where, When Or Why) - Original |
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? |
