These words are from a 1930's or earlier tune....

You're a sweet little heartache, but you are lots of fun... when I try to forget you, I get you right on my mind...

Sketchy.. but all I've got... was my grandfathers favorite..

Well, I can tell you Helen Forrest sings a version (with Artie Shaw and his Orchestra) on her cd "Sweeter as the Years Go By" (blicky). This is available on CD, and can be purchased through gemm.com for $10.

I found the existence of the album by searching google for "sweet little heartache".

I don't know if this is a variation of the same song, or what - Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger wrote a 1938 song called "You're a Sweet Little Headache" - sung by Bing Crosby in the movie Paris Honeymoon.

YOU'RE A SWEET LITTLE HEADACHE
Words & Music by Leo Robin & Ralph Rainger.
From the film "Paris Honeymoon," 1939.

You're a sweet little headache, but you are lots of fun.
I've a good mind to spank you, then thank you for all you've done.

You're a sweet little headache full of quaint little schemes,
But when I should forget you, I let you disturb my dreams.

I thought I could hold my own with you,
but you've got me all perplexed.
For here am I alone with you.
What are you going to do next?

You're a sweet little headache. If you keep on that way,
What a sweet little heartache you'll turn out to be someday.

[Recorded by Bing Crosby (Film Soundtrack) - 1939
Benny Goodman & His Orch. (vocal: Martha Tilton) - 1939
Artie Shaw & His Orch. (vocal: Helen Forrest) - 1939
Red Norvo & His Orch. (vocal: Terry Allen)- 1939
Geraldo & His Orch. (vocal: Al Bowlly) - 1939.]
