Johnny Mercer, Freddie Slack - 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 which we talked from kansas city
His words were sweet like wine
He gave us diamonds and limousines
And stole that gal of mine

When night comes creeping
For me there ain't no sleeping
What she sold, 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 it's beauty
The snowcap sasquatch mountains are nearby
In 1929 the factory output was 43 million dollars
Wholesale trade amounted to
71 million five hundred and ten thousand five hundred and seventy three dollars
Retail trade ninety two million
There's salt beds and farm lands producing
alfalfa, green, sugar beats 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
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 which we talked from kansas city
His words were sweet like wine
He gave us diamonds and limousines
And stole that gal of mine

When night comes creeping
For me there ain't no sleeping
What she sold, 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
