You're My Sugar (With Kay Starr) - Tennessee Ernie Ford, Kay Starr

You are my one and only

The only one I kiss

But that black book in you’re pocket, honey

Ain’t no grocery list

But o took you to a nightclub

To have a bang up time

But we ended up washing dishes

'Cause you didn’t have a dime

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me

I ordered you a collar right from the catalogue

But can’t stop barkin' 'caurse that collar’s for a dog

Well, next day I set you neck-ties

Did you like the ties you got?

How come you tie the neck-ties honey

Like a hangmans knot

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me

Well that diamond ring I bought you

Was nothing but the best

But you only paid a dollar down

I had to pay the rest

What happened to the fur coat

I bought the other day?

Well that new fur coat you got me

Just got up and walked away

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me

Now I knitted you some golf-socks

With fancy heels and sow’s

Well I guess you’ll call them golf socks

They both got 18 holes

I promised you a pony

I promised you a yacht

Well a saddle and a paddle, boy

Was all I ever got

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar but you’re never sweet to me

Well I’m getting tired of fighting

Been at it all my life

Well the way we always get along

We should be man and wife

You’re my sugar

You’re my sugar

And I am sweet on you
