Lovesick Blues (1922)
2-40
(m) Cliff Friend (w) Irving Mills(?) (I) Jack Shea (R) Hank Williams, 1948
Chorus: I got a feelin’ called the blues,
Since my baby said good-bye
Lawd, I don’t know what l’ll do;
All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lawd.
That last long day she said goodbye
Well, Lawd, I thought I would cry.
She’d do me, she’d do you,
She’s got that kind of lovin’, Lawd, I love to hear her
When she calls me sweet daddy.
Such a beautiful dream, I hate to think it’s all over.
I lost my heart it seems.
I’ve grown so used to you somehow,
But I’m nobody’s sugar daddy now.
And I’m lonesome, I got the lovesick blues.

Interlude:
I’m in love, I’m in love with a beautiful gal
That’s what’s the matter with me.
I’m in love, I’m in love with a beautiful gal
But she don’t care about me.

Lawd, I tried and tried to keep her satisfied
But she just wouldn’t stay.
So now that she is leavin’, this is all I say: [Chorus]
