I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City - Johnny Mercer

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
