Lyrics
When I was about 15 years old
I was in love with this girl called Sue
Now Sue lived across the railroad track in my hometown
See, I know somebody saying to themself
Bobby Rush, who is Sue?
Well, let me tell you something about Sue right here
Sue
She's a good one
Oh, Sue
Crossed my heart and swam
She's a good one
Let me tell you something about Sue right here
She's 36
44, 43
Maybe just a little bit more
She's a good one
Tell y'all, tell y'all
Sue's a good one
You see, my daddy, he's a preacher
He told me, he said, Bobby Rush
You ought to leave old Sue alone
Then my mother told me one day, she said, Bobby Rush
She said, the whole neighbourhood is laughing at you
Because Sue ain't done nothing
But making a fool out of you and using you, boy
So, I sit my mother down, I said, mama
I said, everybody, everybody call me a fool
But everybody's somebody's fool
Some say she love me, some say she don't
It don't make no difference when you're getting what you want
See, I'm a puppet and I hang by a love string
All she got to do is kiss me one time, y'all
And I'll dangle down
You and me, until you use me up
Oh, let that woman use me, until you use me up
You and me, until you use me up
Oh, let that woman use me, until you use me up
Let me tell you something else about Sue
See, my mama told me one day, she said, Bobby Rush
She said, why are you so in love with Sue?
And, and can you tell me what Sue do to you?
Now, now y'all know it's hard to tell your mother
What Sue do to you
You, you know what I mean, don't you?
But I sit my mother down, I said, mama
I said, you don't really want to know what Sue did
She said, yes
I said, mama, the first time I went by Sue's house
Here's what she did
I can't tell you, can't tell you, you don't need to know
Wait a minute, hey fellas, I said, hey fellas
Can I tell them what she did?
Do you really want to know what Sue did?
She pulled my shoes off, oh, what she did to me
Sue pulled my shoes off, that's what she did to me
She pulled my shoes off, that's what she did to me
Sue pulled my shoes off, that's what she did to me
She pulled my shoes off, that's what she did
She's good
Oh, Sue, tell y'all she's good
