Ricky Skaggs performs "Lovesick Blues" Live Video.
"Lovesick Blues" is a show tune written by Cliff Friend and Irving Mills. The song first appeared in the 1922 musical Oh, Ernest. It was recorded by Emmett Miller in 1928 and later by country music singer Rex Griffin. The recordings by Griffin and Miller inspired Hank Williams to perform the song during his first appearances on the Louisiana Hayride in 1948. Receiving an enthusiastic reception from the audience, Williams decided to record his own version despite initial push back from his producer Fred Rose and his band.
MGM Records released "Lovesick Blues" in February 1949, and it became an overnight success, quickly reaching number one on Billboard's Top C&W singles and number 24 on the Most Played in Jukeboxes list. The publication named it the top country and western record of the year, while Cashbox named it "Best Hillbilly Record of the Year".
Hank Williams - Lovesick Blues Lyrics
I got a feeling called the blues oh lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Hey lord I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh oh lord
The last long day she said goodbye, Lord I thought I would cry
She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kind of loving
Lord I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over; I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you somehow
But I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
And I'm lonesome, I got the lovesick blues
Yeah I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful girl
That's what's the matter with me
Yeah I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful girl
But she don't care about me
And lord I tried and tried to keep her satisfied
But that girl wouldn't stay
And now that she is leaving this is all I can say
I got a feeling called the blues
