Mel Torme - My Sweetie Went Away lyrics

I've got a lovesick tale to tell to you Tho' it's no affair of mine It's 'bout a gal named sue and boy named Lou They were fighting all the time Lou came home one afternoon Found an empty dining room Without a word his turtledove had flown So he began to moan My sweetie went away But she didn't say where She didn't say when She didn't say why Or bid me goodbye And I'm as blue as can be I know she loves another one But she didn't say who She didn't say which She didn't say what That rascal has got That took my sweetie from me I'm like a little lost sheep And I can't sleep But I keep Tryin' to forget The one I love has gone And left me all alone I moan my sweetie went away But she didn't say where She didn't say when She didn't say why I know that I'll die Why don't she hurry back home You oughta see This lovesick fellow, lou Doesn't do a thing but sigh And while he's wond'ring What became of sue He's a sight for any eye Bought some poison Bought a gun Says goodbye to ev'ryone And while he's doping out some way to die He can't forget to cry My sweetie went away But she didn't say where She didn't say when She didn't say why Or bid me goodbye And I'm as blue as can be I know she loves another one But she didn't say who She didn't say which She didn't say what That rascal has got That took my sweetie from me I'm like a little lost sheep And I can't sleep But I keep Tryin' to forget The one I love has gone And left me all alone I moan my sweetie went away But she didn't say where She didn't say when She didn't say why I know that I'll die Why don't she hurry back home
