I lost my sugar in Salt Lake City Why did I go there I should have stayed in New Orleans And never gone nowhere Her man was a sweet talk from Kansas City His word was sweet like wine He bought her fur coats, diamonds and Limousines And stole that gal of mine When night comes creeping .... me there's no sleeping What he sows he'll be reaping
While he done me wrong I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City The day I heard the news She left me so deep down in my solitude With the Salt Lake City Blues I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City The day I heard the news She left me so deep down in my solitude With the Salt Lake City Blues
