Blackeyed Susie Lyrics

All I want in this creation
A pretty, little wife and a big plantation

Hey, Blackeyed Susie
Hey, pretty, little Susie
Hey, pretty, little, Blackeyed Susie

Blackeyed Susie is a daisy
She's so pretty, she drives me crazy

Hey, Blackeyed Susie
Hey, pretty, little Susie
Hey, pretty, little, Blackeyed Susie

Susie went out on Huckleberry pick
Her dad got mad and her gave her a lick

Hey, Blackeyed Susie
Hey, pretty, little, Susie
Hey, pretty, little, Blackeyed Susie

Whoops

I ask her to be my wife
She came at me with a bar-old knife
Hey, Blackeyed Susie
Hey, pretty, little Susie
Hey, pretty little Blackeyed Susie

Though, he loves his Susie baby
Love my biscuits sopped in gravy

Hey, Blackeyed Susie
Hey, pretty, little, Susie
Hey, pretty, little, Blackeyed Susie

All I need to make me happy
Two little boys to call me papi
Name one Sop and name one Gravy
One's got a sop, and the other one gonna save him

Hey, Blackeyed Susie
Hey, pretty, little, Susie
Hey, pretty, little, Blackeyed Susie

Susie!

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
