A C?7 G7 F#7
I've got a lovesick tale to tell to you
B7 E7 A E7
Though it ain't no fail of mine
A C?7
It's about a gal named sue
G7 F#7
And a boy named lou
B7 E7
They were fightin' all the time
C#7 F#7
Sue came home one afternoon
B7 E7
And found an empty dining room
A C?7
Without a word
G7 F#7
A turtledove had flown
B7 E7
Sue began to moan
A A7
"My sweetie went away
D7 A/D7
But he didn't say where
Dm7 A/Dm7
He didn't say when
A7 D7
He didn't say why
D9 E7 *
Without biddin' me goodbye
D9 E7 * A C? E9 E7 *
Oh I'm blue as I can be
A A7
I know he loves another one
D7 A/D7
But he didn't say who
Dm7 A/Dm7
He didn't say when
A7 D7
He didn't say what
D9 E7 *
His momma has got
D9 E7 * A Dm7 A
That took my sweetie from me
C#7
I'm like a little lost sheep
And I can't sleep
F#m7
But I keep tryin' to forget
E Fm F#m7 B7 E7 Em7
My travelin' poppa, he left his momma all alone
E7 E7 *
I groan
A A7
"My sweetie went away
D7 A/D7
But he didn't say where
Dm7 A/Dm7
He didn't say when
A7 D7
He didn't say why
D9 E7 *
I know I'll die
D9 E7 * A A7 * D7 Dm7 A G7 Ab7 A7
Why don't he hurry on home?
