The lyrics express feelings of unhappiness and confusion due to a relationship gone sour. The song gained popularity in 1936 as the theme song of Clyde McCoy, whose trumpet had a distinctive wah-wah mute sound. Have you heard these blues That I'm goin' to sing to you? When you hear them They will thrill you through and through! They're the sweetest blues you ever heard, Now listen and don't say a word! Sugar Blues, everybody singin' The Sugar Blues, the whole town is ringin', My lovin' man, sweet as can be, But the doggone fool turned sour on me! I'm so unhappy, I feel so bad I could lay me down and die. You can say what you choose But I'm all confuse, I've got the sweet sweet Sugar Blues, more sugar! I've got the Sugar Blues. Sugar Blues, everybody singin' The Sugar Blues, My lovin' man, sweet as can be, But the doggone fool turned sour on me! Now you can say just what you choose But I'm all confused Oh baby, got the Sugar Blues!
