Lovesick Blues
Frank Ifield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in love,
I'm in love with a girl,
That's what's the matter with me
I'm in love,
I'm in love, with a beautiful girl,
But she don't give a darn about me
to make her love me I tried,
But she just refused
And ever since she's gone away,
I've got those lovesick blues
Got the feeling called the "blue hoo's,"
since my sweetie said "Good Bye"
Seems I don't know what to "Do Hoo"
All day long I sit and cry
That last long day we spent alone
I'm yearning for it yet
She thrilled me, filled me,
with a kind of lovin',
I never will forget, the way she called me sweet daddy"
Twas just a beautiful dream
I hate to think that it's all over I lost my heart it seems
I got so used to her somehow
But I'm no body's baby
Now, gee it's awful when you're lonesome
and get those lovesick blue-oo-oo-oo-oo's
Got the feeling called the "blue hoo's,"
since my sweetie said "Good Bye"
Seems I don't know what to "Do Hoo"
All day long I sit and cry
That last long day we spent alone
I'm yearning for it yet
She thrilled me, filled me,
with a kind of lovin',
I never will forget, the way she called me sweet daddy
Twas just a beautiful dream
I hate to think that it's all over I lost my heart it seems
i got so used to her somehow
But I'm no body's baby
Now, gee it's awful when you're lonesome
and get those lovesick blue-oo-oo-oo-oo's

I'm in love,
I'm in love,
I'm in love with a girl,
That's what's the matter with me
My heart's been captured,
I'm head over heels for her,
She's the one I adore,
And I can't escape this feeling
I'm in love,
I'm in love, with a beautiful girl,
But she don't give a darn about me
My heart belongs to someone special,
But she doesn't feel the same way,
I'm deeply in love with her,
Yet, she doesn't care for me at all
to make her love me I tried,
How I sighed and I cried
But she just refused
And ever since she's gone away,
I've got those lovesick blues
I did everything I could to win her heart,
I begged and I pleaded,
But she turned me down,
Now that she's gone,
I'm left feeling heartbroken and miserable
Got the feeling called the "blue hoo's," ,
since my sweetie said "Good Bye"
Seems I don't know what to "Do Hoo"
All day long I sit and cry
The sadness I feel is overwhelming,
Ever since she said farewell,
I don't know how to cope,
Crying is all that I can do
That last long day we spent alone
I'm yearning for it yet
She thrilled me, filled me,
with a kind of lovin',
I never will forget, the way she called me sweet daddy
I long for the memory
Of the last day we spent together
How she excited me with a kind of love
That I'll never forget,
Especially the way she called me "sweet daddy"
Twas just a beautiful dream
I hate to think that it's all over I lost my heart it seems
i got so used to her somehow
But I'm no body's baby
Now, gee it's awful when you're lonesome
and get those lovesick blue-oo-oo-oo-oo's
It was all just a wonderful dream
I'm heartbroken that it's come to an end
I grew accustomed to her presence in my life
But now I'm all alone,
It's a terrible feeling when you're lonely
And weighed down by the woes of lovesickness

Brings me back to a time when I was a kid and my parents had parties in the house, there was always the one guy who thought he could yodel, and we had to endure his "yodeling" and applaud him at the end, which only encouraged him to sing another one!😊

Listening to Frank Ifield brought back memories of my mother playing his
and the Batchelor's records every Sunday, whilst making lunch, she'd be in the kitchen singing away, dancing across the floor from the sink to the cooker! lol happy day's :)
