Have you heard these blues
That I'm goin' to sing to you?
When you hear them
They will thrill you through and through!
They're the sweetest blues you ever heard,
Now listen and don't say a word!


Sugar Blues, everybody singin'
The Sugar Blues, the whole town is ringin',
My lovin' man, sweet as can be,
But the doggone fool turned sour on me!


I'm so unhappy, I feel so bad
I could lay me down and die.
You can say what you choose
But I'm all confuse,
I've got the sweet sweet Sugar Blues, more sugar!
I've got the Sugar Blues.


Sugar Blues, everybody singin'
The Sugar Blues,
My lovin' man, sweet as can be,
But the doggone fool turned sour on me!


I'm so unhappy, I feel so unhappy,
I could lay me down and die.
You can say what you choose
But I'm all confuse,
I've got the sweet Sugar Blues, more sugar!
I've got the Sugar Blues, yeah!


Now you can say just what you choose
But I'm all confuse,
Oh baby, got the Sugar Blues!
