I Lost My Sugar in Salt Lake City - Freddie Slack, Johnny Mercer

I lost my sugar in Salt Lake City

Oh, why did I go there

I should have stayed down in New Orleans

And never gone nowhere

A girl with sweet talk from Kansas City

Her words were sweet like wine

She bought him diamonds and limousines

She stole that man o' mine

When night comes a-creepin'

For me there’s no sleeping

What she sews, she’ll be reapin'

'Cause she done me wrong

I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City

The day I heard the news

He left me deep in my solitude

With a Salt Lake City blues

With a Salt Lake City blues
