Lovesick BluesJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Shelton Brooks

I got a feelin' 'cause I'm blue, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord, I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry

Oh Lord, that last long day she said goodbye
Good Lord, I thought I would die
She'll do me and she'll do you and she's got that kind of lovin'
God, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy

Such a beautiful dream, I hate to think it all over
I've lost my heart, it seems
And I've grown so used to you somehow
God, I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues

Well, I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
That's what's the matter with me
Yes, I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal
But she don't give a flip about me

Well, I tried and I tried, I tried to keep her satisfied
But she just wouldn't stay
And now that she is leavin'
Oh, this is all I can say

I got a feelin' 'cause I'm blue, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord, I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and cry

Oh Lord, that last long day she just said goodbye
Good Lord, I thought I would die
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kind of lovin'
God, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy

It's such a beautiful dream, I hate to think it all over
I've lost my heart, it seems
Yeah, I've grown so used to you somehow
God, I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
