Madeleine Peyroux - Lovesick Blues

(Bessie Smith, Irving Mills & Cliff friend)

I've got a lovesick tale to tell to you
Though it ain't no fail of mine
It's about a gal named sue
And a boy named lou
They were fightin' all the time
Sue came home one afternoon
And found an empty dining room

Without a word
A turtledove had flown
Sue began to moan
