Lyrics
Black-Eyed Susie
All I want in this Creation's
A pretty little girl and a big plantation
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
I said Hey
If Black-Eyed Susie be my wife
I'd be happy the rest of my life
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
Baby said Hey
Refrain:
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
Hey pretty little Black-Eyed Susie
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
I said Hey
Susie and the boys went berry pickin
They got drunk and Susie got a lick in
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
I said Hey
Some got drunk and some got woozy
I went home with Black-Eyed Susie
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
I said Hey
Black-Eyed Susie's about half growed
She jumps on the boys like a dog on a bone
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
I say Hey
I asked Susie to be my wife
She come at me with a Bowie knife
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
Baby said Hey
All I want in this Creation's
A pretty little girl and a big plantation
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
Susie say Hey
If Black-Eyed Susie be my wife
I'd be happy the rest of my life
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
Baby said Hey
