12-stringer Lyr Req: Black-Eyed Suzie (from Roscoe Holcomb) (4) RE: Req: Roscoe Holcomb's lyrics to Black Eyed Susie 22 Jun 11


One or two minor corrections, per the liner notes to the original LP issue of Folkways FA2317, Mountain Music of Kentucky ("Collected - Annotated - Photographs by John Cohen"):

Blackeyed Susie, sitting in a corner
She's a pretty girl, 'pon my honor

Cho:
Hey pretty little blackeyed Susie
Hop up pretty little blackeyed Susie

Rain come wet me, sun come dry me
Stand back, pretty girl, don't come nigh me

Poor little kitty-puss, poor little feller
Poor little kitty-puss [liner notes say ketty-puss here, which I take to be a typo], died in the corner

repeat verse 2
