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
