LOVESICK BLUES
Irving Mills & Cliff Friend

Hank Williams


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
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


I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
That's whats 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...

I'm in love!
I'm in love!
And here's what happened to me;

I've got a feelin' called the blues
Since my baby said goodbye;
Lord, I dont know what I'll do,
All I do is sit and sigh!

That last long day he said goodbye,
Lord, I thought I would cry;
He'll do me, he'll do you, he's got the kind o'lovin',
Lord I love to hear him when when he calls me and he tells me;

"Here's your daddy!", ooh-ooh what a beautiful dream!
I hate to think that it's all over, I've lost my heart it seems!
I've grown so used to you somehow,
I'm nobody's baby now!
And I'm lonesome,
I've got the lovesick blues!

I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy,
That's what's the matter with me!
I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy,
But he don't care about me!

I've got a feelin' called the blues since my baby said goodbye,
Lord, what'll I do?
All I do is cry!
I've grown so used to you somehow,
I'm nobody's baby now!
And I'm lonesome,
I've got the lovesick blues!

When he calls my name, what a beautiful dream!
I hate to think that it's all over, I've lost my heart it seems!
I've grown so used to you somehow,
I'm nobody's baby now!
And I'm lonesome,
I've got the lovesick blues!
I'm alone and I've got the lovesick blues,
So blue!
