Lovesick Blues Songtext
von Emmett Miller

Sam, you sure do look like you got the miseries
Man, I-I ain′t got no miseries, I'm got
The blues, that′s what's the matter with me
The birds singing in the trees and the sun
Is shining, you shouldn't have no blues
I know I-I shouldn′t have ′em, but-but-but I got
Every known indication of being in that condition
Well, what's the matter, did they lock up your bootlegger?
No, it′s worse than that
I went home this morning and peeped through the window
That sweet thing of mine had done caught out
So now I've got them lovesick blues


I′m in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
That′s what's the matter with me
I'm in love, I′m in love with a beautiful gal
But she don′t care about me
To make her love me I tried, Lord, I was sad and I cried
But she just refused
And ever since my mama's gone away
I′ve got them lovesick blues

I've got a feeling called the blues
Since my mama said goodbye
It seems I don′t know what to do
All I do is sit and cry, oh Lord
The last long day we spent alone
I'm yearning for her again
She thrilled me, filled me with the kind of lovin′
I never will forget the way she called me sweet daddy
Was just a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I lost my heart it seems, oh Lord
I got so used to her somehow
But I know by heart a stack of cards
But now it's awful when you′re lonesome
You got them lovesick blues, oh Lord
