My Sweetie Went Away (She Didn't Say Where - When - Or Why)

歌詞

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
