I Got the Lovesick Blues
Music by Cliff Friend, with lyrics by Irving Mills
I got a feeling called the blues
Oh, Lord,
since my honey said goodbye
Lord, I don’t know what I’ll do
All I do
is sit and sigh,
Oh, Lord,
The last long day he said
goodbye
Well, I thought I’d break down
and cry
He’ll do me
He’ll do you
He’s got that kind of lovin’
Lord, how I love to hear him
when he calls me
Sweet baby
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 sweet baby now
And I’m lonesome,
I got the lovesick blues.
Well, I’m in love
I’m in love
with a hunk of a guy
That’s what’s the matter with me
Well, I’m in love
I’m in love
with a hunk of a guy
but he don’t care about me
Lord, I tried
and I tried
to keep him satisfied
But he just wouldn’t stay
So now that he is leaving
This is all I can say:
I got a feeling called the blues,
Oh, Lord,
Since my honey said goodbye
I don’t know what I’ll do
All I do is sit and sigh
The last long day
He said goodbye
Well, Lord, I thought I would
cry.
He’ll do me
He’ll do you
He’s got that kind of lovin’
Lord, I love to hear him
when he calls me
Sweet baby
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
I’m nobody’s sweet baby now
I’m lonesome
I got the lovesick blues!
