I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City |
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 man which we talked from kansas city |
His words were sweet like wine |
He gave us diamonds & limousines |
And stole that gal of mine |
When night comes creeping |
For me there ain’t no sleeping |
What she sold, she’ll be reaping |
For she done me wrong |
I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City |
The day I heard the news |
She left me deep in my solitude |
With the Salt Lake City blues |
Salt Lake City is renowned for it’s beauty |
The snowcap sasquatch mountains are nearby |
In 1929 the factory output was 43 million dollars |
Wholesale trade amounted to |
71 million five hundred & ten thousand five hundred & seventy three dollars |
Retail trade ninety two million |
There’s salt beds & farm lands producing |
alfalfa, green, sugar beats & vegetables in the vicinity |
But as far as I’m concerned |
I don’t care if I ever set foot there again in Salt Lake City |
That town is a nemesis to me |
Man I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City |
The day I heard the news |
She left me deep in my solitude |
With those blues |
Salt lake City blues |
