—Traditional

Black eyed Susie went to town
All she wore was a gingham gown

Refrain:
Hey Black eyed Susie
Ho Black eyed Susie
Hey Black eyed Susie Brown.

Black eyed Susie went huckleberry pickin'
Came home late and she took a lickin'.

I may get drunk I may get woozy
But I'm comin' home to Black eyed Susie

All I need to make me happy
Two little boys to call me Pappy.

One name Sam and one named Davey
One likes ham and the other likes gravy.

Love my wife and love my baby
Love my biscuits sopped in gravy.

Goin' back home with a pocket full of money
Somebody there to call me honey.

All I want in this creation
Pretty little gal and a big plantation

Black Eyed Susie II

—Not so traditional: Holy Modal Rounders

My pretty little Susie's just half grown
Jumps on a man like a dog on a bone.
Refrain: Hey, black—eyed Susie, hey, little black—eyed Susie, hey.

Come little Susie, let's go to the loft
The hay up there's always warm and soft
Refrain

If your mommy knew she'd tan your hide
Your daddy would hunt me dead or alive
Refrain

I gave your little brother a big silver dollar
If he sees your daddy coming he'll let out a holler.
Refrain

The only thing I like to do better than my doodling
Is put my head between your legs and do a little yodelling
Refrain
