Oh now I wonder what's the matter, I can't rest at night
A good woman that I'm loving, done took my appetite
And she quit me she left me, to sing this song
You never miss your friend, till you caught your train and gone
And I'm going downtown, going to stay right there till fall
Don't get the gal I want, I don't want no girl at all
Say you talk about Sally, talk about Sally Lou
Well the woman that I'm crazy about, she knows just what to do
What's the matter now baby, that I could not treat you kind
You give me a bad‑luck deal, kept something on my mind
