Black-eyed Susie (or Suzie) is a great tune, though not related to the tune Black Eyed Sally that I'm trying to track down here. Uncle Earl has a lively instrumental version of Black-eyed Susie. But the version I love best is by the Holy Modal Rounders, which includes the attached verses. I particularly like the last verse. Cheers, Peter BLACK-EYED SUZIE Holy Modal Rounders version My pretty little Suzie's just half-grown Jumps on a man like a dog on a bone CHORUS: Hey black-eyed Suzie Hey pretty little black-eyed Suzie Hey If your mommy knew she'd tan your hide Your daddy would hunt me dead or alive I gave your little brother a big silver dollar If he sees your daddy coming he'll let out a holler The only thing I like to do better than my doodlin Is blow my head with turtle eggs and do a little yodlin
