Another curt edition of the song, from the Frank Brown collection of NC folklore (link), p. 372 (entry 320)

SUSY GAL
This sounds as though it might be a play-party song, but it is not so labeled. I have not found it elsewhere.

'Susy Gal.' Contributed by Beulah White of Durham in July 1923.

Susy licked the ladle
An' 'er dolly rocked the cradle.
Goodbye, Susie gal,
I'm gone again
I fell into the gutter
And my heart began to flutter.
Goodbye, Susie gal,
I'm gone again.
