Lyrics

Black Eyed Suzie

Black Eyed Suzie came to town
All she wore was a gingham gown

Hey old man, I want your daughter
To chop my wood and carry my water
Black eyed Suzie
Black eyed Suzie
Black eyed Suzie

Comin’ back home with a pocket full of money
Nobody ‘round to call me honey
I may get drunk, I may get woozy
But I want to come home to Black eyed Suzie
Black eyed Suzie
Black eyed Suzie
Black eyed Suzie

Black eyed Suzie lives over yonder
She won’t come, I won’t call her
Up Red Creek and down saltwater
Some old man’s gonna lose his daughter
Black eyed Suzie
Black eyed Suzie
Black eyed Suzie

I’m a man who has my say
I’ll have her hand, I’ll have my way
I’ll ask that girl to be my wife
Or I’ll regret it all my life
