franko@ctrvax.vanderbilt.edu Lyr Req: Black-Eye Susie / Black-Eyed Susie (17) Bug-Eyed/Black-Eyed Susie 21 Nov 96


I heard at a fiddle festival in June what I thought was "Bug-eyed Susie" as the chorus to a song. Later, I was told that it was really "Black-eyed Susie." Then, someone said that there were two totally separate tunes, with the same lyrics- except different eye descriptions! Was this last friend of mine pulling a fast one on me? Or was I just mis-hearing the word, in my sleepless state that evening. I must say though, that I heard a fiddler play the tune, "Black-eyed Susie," and I could not glean the melody that I had remembered out of it. Anybody got the tune in an e-mailable form(text)? I did check DigiTrad- and found the lyrics(Black-Éyed Susie), but no tune. Thanks, Franko
