I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City
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 man with sweet talk from Kansas City
His words were sweet like wine
He gave her diamonds and limousines
And stole that gal of mine
When night comes creeping
For me there ain't no sleeping
What she sowed, she'll be reaping
For she done me wrong
I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City
The day I heard the news
She left me deep in my solitude
With the Salt Lake City blues
Salt Lake City is renowned for its beauty
The snowcapped Wasatch mountains are nearby
In 1929 the factory output was 43 million dollars
Wholesale trade proper amounted to
71 million 510 thousand 573 dollars
Retail trade 92 million
There's salt beds and farm lands producing
Alfalfa, grain, sugar beets and vegetables in the vicinity
But as far as I'm concerned
I don't care if I ever set foot there again in Salt Lake City
That town is a nemesis to me
Man I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City
The day I heard the news
She left me deep in my solitude
With those blues
Salt lake City blues
Oh, why did I go there?
I should have stayed down in New Orleans
And never gone nowhere
A man with sweet talk from Kansas City
His words were sweet like wine
He gave her diamonds and limousines
And stole that gal of mine
When night comes creeping
For me there ain't no sleeping
What she sowed, she'll be reaping
For she done me wrong
I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City
The day I heard the news
She left me deep in my solitude
With the Salt Lake City blues
Salt Lake City is renowned for its beauty
The snowcapped Wasatch mountains are nearby
In 1929 the factory output was 43 million dollars
Wholesale trade proper amounted to
71 million 510 thousand 573 dollars
Retail trade 92 million
There's salt beds and farm lands producing
Alfalfa, grain, sugar beets and vegetables in the vicinity
But as far as I'm concerned
I don't care if I ever set foot there again in Salt Lake City
That town is a nemesis to me
Man I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City
The day I heard the news
She left me deep in my solitude
With those blues
Salt lake City blues
