lyrics
Sugar blues
I got those old sugar blues, the whole town is squawking,
I like my coffee, and I like me tea,
But the doggone cream, it turned sour on me
I'm so disgusted
Feel so blue
I could lay me down and cry
You could say what you choose
But I'm all confused
I got those old sugar blues
More sugar
I've got the sugar blues
Sugar blues
I got those old sugar blues, Somerville is singing,
Got a little man, sweet as can be
But the doggone fool,
He turned sour on me
I'm so disgusted
Feel so blue
I could lay right down here and die
You could say what you choose
But I'm all confused
I got the sweet, sweet sugar blues
Blues Union!
I've got those old sugar blues
