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 of mine

When night comes a-creepin'
For me, there’s no sleepin'
What she sows, she'll be reepin’
And she did 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 the Salt Lake City blues
With the Salt Lake City blues
