Black Eyed Susie

I asked Susie to be my wife
She come after me with a Bowie knife

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

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

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

Up red oak and down salt water
Some old man gonna lose his daughter

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

Black eyed Susie lives in a holler
She won't come and I won't call her

Hey old man I want your daughter
To chop my wood and carry my water

Black-Eyed Susie's long and lean,
Prettiest girl I ever seen.

I love the sea, I love the navy
But black-eyed Susie to do crave-y

I love the hills, I love the prairie
I love Jane, and I love Mary, but

I'm happy as a king got the world on a string
Can't ask for more I'm at heaven's door

I used to do a lot of teasin'
Changed my gals most every season

I love my pipe, I love tomatoes
I love candied sweet potatoes

Ooh! I love the trees, I love the flowers
Love to walk through April showers

Used to say I'd never wed
Those were foolish words I said

I used to be a guy who gambled
I had wanderin' shoes that always rambled

Cross my heart my ramblin' days are through
Pretty black-eyed Susie, I love you

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…(finish phrase instrumental)

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 yodeling
Refrain
