I lost my sugar in Salt Lake City Oh, why did I go there? I should have stayed down in New Orleans And never gone nowhere A girl with sweet talk from Kansas City Her words were sweet like wine She bought him diamonds and limousines She stole that man o' mine When night comes a-creepin' For me there's no sleeping What she sews, she'll be reapin' 'Cause she done me wrong I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City The day I heard the news He left me deep in my solitude With a Salt Lake City blues With a Salt Lake City blues
