Merle Haggard Lyrics
"Lovesick Blues"

(Irving Mills - Cliff Friend)

I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby's said goodbye
Oh, I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry, oh Lord.

That last long day she said goodbye
Well Lord, I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda lovin'
Lord, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy.

Such a beautiful dream I hate to think it all over
I've lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you somehow
Well, I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I've got the lovesick blues.

Well, 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.

Lord, I tried and tried to keep her satisfied
But she just wouldn't stay
So now that she is leavin'
This is all that I can say

I got a feelin' called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby's said goodbye
Oh, I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry, oh Lord.

That last long day she said goodbye
Well Lord, I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kinda lovin'
Lord, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy.

Such a beautiful dream I hate to think it all over
I've lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you somehow
Well, I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I've got the lovesick blues, Oh Lord...
