[Verse]
Folks nickname that man of mine
Call him "Sweet Man" Sam
The other night he left at nine
And with my best friend Nan
Now since he's been away at the close of each day
This is all I can say
[Chorus]
I’ve got those sweet man blues, lonesome news
'Bout my man, understand
Lost my head, wish I'se dead
Now, just when he’d begin
Tenderly loving me
Each time, sweet man o' mine
Now I'll just grieve away everyday
'Bout that man of mine
He had just what I am wild about
Hope he comes back 'fore it all gеts out
I've got those sweet man blues
'Bout that sweet man of minе
[Chorus]
Please believe when I say that
I've got those sweet man blues, lonesome news
’Bout my man, understand
I lost my head, wish I’se dead
'Cause just when he’d begin
Tenderly loving me
Each time, sweet man o' mine
I'll just grieve away every day
'Bout that man of mine
He’s got just what I cannot explain
But I'd give my life for it once again
'Cause I've got those sweet man blues
'Bout that sweet man of mine
