  *++Lyrics:|\\
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 fightin' 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 on home?\\
\\
