My Sweetie Went Away (She Didn't Say Where, When or Why) |
| 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? |
