Tennessee Ernie Ford - You're My Sugar Lyrics

Lyrics You're My Sugar - Tennessee Ernie Ford



You're my sugar, You're my sugar
You're my sugar but you're never sweet to me!
You are my one and only, the only one I've kissed
But that black book in your pocket, honey, ain't no grocery list
Well, I took you to a nightclub to have a bang-up time
But we wound up washin' dishes 'cause you didn't have a dime!
You're my sugar, You're my sugar
You're my sugar but you're never sweet to me!
You're my sugar, You're my sugar
You're my sugar but you're never sweet to me!
I ordered you a collar right from the catalog
But now I can't quit barkin' 'cause the collar's for a dog!
Well, next day I sent you neckties, did you like the ties you got?
How come you tied the neckties, honey, like a hangman's knot?
You're my sugar, You're my sugar
You're my sugar but you're never sweet to me!
You're my sugar, You're my sugar
You're my sugar but you're never sweet to me!
Well that diamond ring I bought you was nothing but the best
But you only paid a dollar down, I had to pay the rest
What happened to the fur coat I bought the other day?
Well, that new fur coat you bought me just got up and walked away
You're my sugar, you're my sugar
You're my sugar but you're never sweet to me!
You're my sugar, You're my sugar
You're my sugar but you're never sweet to me!
Now, I knitted you some golf socks with fancy heels and soles
Well, I guess you call 'em golf socks, they both have eighteen holes!
I promised you a pony, I promised you a yacht
Well a saddle and a paddle, boy, was all I ever got!
You're my sugar, You're my sugar
You're my sugar but you're never sweet to me!
You're my sugar, You're my sugar
You're my sugar but you're never sweet to me!
Well, I'm a-getting tired of fighting, been at it all my life
Well, the way we always get along, we should be man and wife!
You're my sugar, You're my sugar
You're my sugar and I am sweet on you!
