bessie smith - my sweetie went away lyrics

i’ve got a lovesick tale to tell to you
though it ain’t no fail of mine
it’s about a gal named sue
and a boy named lou
they were fightin’ all the time
sue came home one afternoon
and found an empty dining room
without a word
a turtledove had flown
sue began to moan
? my sweetie went away
but he didn’t say where
he didn’t say when
he didn’t say why
without biddin’ me goodbye
oh i’m blue as i can be
i know he loves another one
but he didn’t say who
he didn’t say when
he didn’t say what
his momma 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
my travelin’ poppa, he left his momma all alone
i groan
my sweetie went away but he didn’t say where
he didn’t say when
he didn’t say why
i know i’ll die
why don’t he hurry on home?
