Lyrics

I got a feelin’ ’cause I’m blue, oh, LordSince my daddy said goodbyeI don’t know what I’m gonna doAll I do is sit and cry, oh, Lord
That last long day he said goodbyeWell Lord, I thought I would dieHe’ll do ya, he’ll do me, he’s got that kinda lovin’But, Lord, I love to hear him when he calls me sweet baby
What a beautiful dreamI hate to think it all overI lost my heart it seems
I’ve grown so used to that man, somehowAnd I’m nobody’s sugar-baby now‘Cause I’m lonesomeI got the lovesick blues
Now I’m in love, I’m in love with a wonderful guyThat’s what’s the matter with meWell, I’m in love, I’m in love with a wonderful guyBut he don’t care about meWell, I tried and I tried to keep him satisfiedBut he just wouldn’t stayBut now that he is leavin’, this is all I’ve got to say
I got a feelin’ ’cause I’m blue, oh LordSince my daddy said goodbyeI don’t know what I’m gonna doI lost my heart it seems
I’ve grown so used to that man, somehowAnd I’m nobody’s sugar-baby now‘Cause I’m lonesomeI got the lovesick blues
I’ve grown so used to that man, and howAnd I’m nobody’s sugar-baby now‘Cause I’m lonesomeI got the lovesick blues
