I got those sugar blues, Everybody's singing those sugar blues, The whole town is ringing; My lovin' mama, sweet as she can be, But the doggone gal turned sour on me! I'm so unhappy, I feel so bad, I could lay me down and die; You can say what you choose, But I'm all confused; I've got those sweet, sweet sugar blues, More sugar, I got those sweet, sweet sugar blues! Other people who recorded versions are Clarence Williams, Johnny Mercer, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
