Sugar Dumpling Lyrics

Sam Cooke Sugar Dumpling Lyrics

One of my favourite Sam Cooke songs. This is my interpretation of the song and I play it
with a similar strumming technique to that on Wonderful World, also by Sam Cooke.
I play it with the capo on the 3rd, but that's just because I like singing it at that pitch.
Any suggestions for change are welcomed! Otherwise, enjoy. The song isn't too difficult
and an absolute belter to sing along too.

CHORUS:
Sugar dumpling, you're my baby
I love you in every way
Sugar dumpling, you're my baby
My love grows stronger everyday, yeah
REPEAT CHORUS
Listen, while I tell you a story
A story about my girl
I call her sugar dumpling
Because she's the sweetest thing in this whole world
Oh, whenever I'm feeling bad
Right away she puts me to bed
And she hires two nurses, one to hold my hand
The other one to rub my head
Oh, whenever I tell her, "Honey I'm hungry"
Now go and fix me something to eat
This girl rushes in the kitchen and fixes me a dinner
With seven different kinds of meat
If I call her up at two o'clock in the morning
And say, "Come on over if you can"
Before I hang up the telephone, she's sitting beside me
With a cup of coffee in her hand
