Salt Lake City haunt me Oh, that city tortures me Night and day I find Salt Lake City on my mind 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 the sweet talk from Kansas City Her lips were sweet like wine She gave him diamonds and limousines Stole that man of mine When night comes creepin' For me, there's no sleeping What she sews, she'll be reapin' For he's done me wrong I cried my heart out in Salt Lake City The day I heard the news It left me deep in my solitude With a Salt Lake City blues He's gone away and left me with the blues
