Black Eyed Suzie

(words collected by Peter Budd)

From Skillet Lickers (Vetco); pitch is a little sharp of G

Love my liquor, love my ?cotty
Love my sweetheart, ask anybody

Chorus: Huh, huh, my little black eyed Suzie
Uh, huh, my little black eyed Suzie

The gals and the boys went huckleberry picking
We all got drunk, and Suzie got a licking 

Chorus

Some got drunk and some got boozy
I went home with little black eyed Suzie 

Chorus

Love my ?Lady, love my daddy
Love my biscuits, sopped in gravy 

Chorus

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

Chorus

All I want to make me happy
Is two little boys to call me pappy
One named Tom and the one Davy
One loves ???(ham) and the other loves gravy 

Chorus

Some got drunk and some got boozy
I went home with little black eyed Suzie

==================

From JPNestor and Norman Edmonds. On: Round the Heart of
Old Galax, Volume 3, County 535. Actual pitch is ~B, so
?probably being played in C or perhaps D?

?May get drunk, and you may get boozy
Who came home with little black eyed Suzie

...walk around little black eyed Suzie

repeat first verse indistinctly

Maybe a month, maybe two
But I’m going home with little black eyed Suzie

May get drunk, may get boozy
Better stay a way from little black eyed Suzie

May get drunk, and you may get boozy
But I’m going home with little black eyed Suzie

... Walk around little black eyed Suzie
