I love my wife, I love my baby
I like my biscuits sopped in gravy

Hey, black-eyed Susie
Hey, pretty little black-eyed Susie, Hey

All want in this creation
Pretty little wife and a big plantation
Up red oak and down salt water
Some old man gonna lose his daughter

* Refrain

Susie and the boys went huckleberry pickin'
The boys got drunk and Susie got a lickin'
Some got drunk and some got boozy
But I made love to black-eyed Susie

* Refrain

All I need to make me happy
Is two little boys to call me pappy
One named Paul, the other one Davy
One likes ham and the other one gravy

* Refrain
