Subject: Lyr Add: BLACK-EYED SUZY (from Roscoe Holcomb)
Here's my best guess as to what he's singing in the YouTube recording:
BLACK-EYED SUZY
As sung by Roscoe Holcomb
1. Black-eyed Suzy stayin' in the corner,
She a pretty girl, 'pon my honor.
CHORUS: Hey, little black-eyed Suzy,
Hop up, pretty little black-eyed Suzy.
2. Rain come in, the sun come in an' drown me.
Stand back, pretty girl. Don't come around me. CHORUS
3. Ho, little kitty-buss, poor little feller,
Poor little kit-cuss died in the cellar. CHORUS
REPEAT VERSE 2 AND CHORUS.
