Black-Eyed Susan lyrics
Twenty days walking so lonely
And talking to myself and the rocks
And sand got me to thinking
'Bout going and drinking
In a tavern with a clean-shaven man
Just when I thought all souls
Had been bought by the devil here long ago
There did I see when I knelt to my knee
I little Texas flower grow
Black-eyed Susan by the roadside
Blooming all yellow like sunshine
Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel
My, my, you're a rare, rare find
Well, my newfound friend gave my heart a mend
I sang her songs of my wayward ways
When day turned to night in the crystal moonlight
I confirmed her unwavering gaze
As the days unraveled I stayed in the gravel
And Susan kept her eye on me
With my eye on her I felt my heart all astir
With the joy of camaraderie
Black-eyed Susan by the roadside
Blooming all yellow like sunshine
Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel
My, my, you're a rare, rare find
Part of these releases
