Susie

Susie lives on a farm

Susie, she never done nobody no harm

She said, "Oh Momma, how could you care?"

Pa said, "You ain't been where you're going

But I know where you were"

Oh my word, she's covered up in dirt

Looks so sweet in a summer shirt

It's Susie out in the woodlands

Playing like the Mohicans

Covered up and silent

Hey

And her heart ain't never beat so fast

'Cause she never knew it was more than that, you know

To the sounds of her dad's radio

She sang and she cried and she longed for one to hold

By the time she got her long, long hair

Her thoughts flew, she knew she wasn't there

My darling Susie, I like you

Suzette, tumbling heels over her head

How come we're from followed

There it be, don't always go for speed

Ma said, "You young, you young, you don't have no scars"

Pa said, "You ain't been where you're going

But I know where you were"

So go on down, take that mean turn around

Everybody's looking, go and make them proud

It's Susie, go find your boy

Someone else then Roy, he's kind of gray

He's awful, someone must sing you a song

Hey

This is how things are gonna be

Everything seems so right for me, you know

Tell the preacher to medicine

We've all got this thing to do before we go

Hey

Don't you worry about poor Peggy

Poor Peggy, she ain't pretty like you

My darling Susie, I like you

My darling Susie, I like you

I like you

I like you

I like you
