Sugarburn Blues

Roscó Flanagan

Compositor: Roscó Flanagan

Oh, Lord, where do I start?
She took the loving right out of my heart
Oh, Lord, when will it end?
I got a feeling I need to amend

I know it ain't right for me
But what I get is not what I see
Oh, this sugarburn
Sweetness to make you learn
This sugarburn won't let me be

My name is all I hold
She took away with my silver and gold
My name don't even care
I hear the trouble is filling the air

I know it ain't so very good
To go on being misunderstood
Oh, this sugarburn
Sweetness to make you learn
This sugar burning like it should

Bye bye I'm going home
I satisfied my condition to roam
Bye bye I say to her
I’ll get my wishes to be how they were

I know it ain't meant to last
And that is changing now from the past
Oh, this sugarburn
Sweetness to make you learn
This sugar burn it goes so fast
