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 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
