Lyrics
Salt Lake City haunts me
How that city taunts me
Night and day I find
Salt Lake City on my mind
Chorus
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 gal with sweet talk from Kansas City
Her words were sweet like wine
She bought him diamonds and limousines
And stole that man of mine
When night comes creepin’
For me there’s no sleepin’
What she sows she’ll be reapin’
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
