Lovesick Blues Lyrics – Emmet Miller

Lovesick Blues Text

---

[Spoken Intro]
Sam, you sure do look like you've got the miseries
Man, I ain't got no miseries, I've got the blues
That's whats matter with me
Birds singing in the trees and the sun is shining
You shouldn't have no blues
I know I shouldn't have 'em; but, but I got
Every known indication of being in that condition
What's the matter, did they lock up your bootlegger?
No, it wasn't that
I went home this morning and peeped through the window
And that little sweet thing of mine had done called out
So, now I got them lovesick blues

[Verse 1]
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, how I sighed and I cried
But she just refused
And ever since my honey's gone away
I've got them lovesick blues

[Verse 2]
I've got a feeling called the blues
Since my baby 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 it, girl
Is to thrill me, fill me with a kind of loving
I never will forget the way she called me "Sweet daddy"

[Verse 3]
Twas just a beautiful dream
I hate to think that it's all over
I lost my heart it seems, oh Lord
I got so used to her somehow
But I'm nobody's sugar papa now
It's awful when you're lonesome
You got them lovesick blues, oh Lord
