Lyrics My Sweetie Went Away (Remastered) - Bessie Smith
I've
got
a
lovesick
tale
to
tell
to
you
Though
it
ain't
no
fail
of
mine
It's
about
a
gal
named
sue
And
a
boy
named
lou
They
were
fightin'
all
the
time
Sue
came
home
one
afternoon
And
found
an
empty
dining
room
Without
a
word
A
turtledove
had
flown
Sue
began
to
moan?
My
sweetie
went
away
But
he
didn't
say
where
He
didn't
say
when
He
didn't
say
why
Without
biddin'
me
goodbye
Oh
I'm
blue
as
I
can
be
I
know
he
loves
another
one
But
he
didn't
say
who
He
didn't
say
when
He
didn't
say
what
His
momma
has
got
That
took
my
sweetie
from
me
I'm
like
a
little
lost
sheep
And
I
can't
sleep
But
I
keep
tryin'
to
forget
My
travelin'
poppa,
he
left
his
momma
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
on
home?
