A local music friend dug this oldie out for me today.

There are only two chords in this version...1/5 pattern

IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN
Bill Cox

Susie is my cousin. That's the gospel truth.
Three more in the family: Rebbecca, Jane and Ruth.
I'll tell you all her troubles she had with William Ryder.
He took the poor girl out and treated her and he gave her sour cider.

CHORUS: But I don't reckon it'll happen again
For months and months and months.
I don't reckon it'll happen again
For months and months and months.

Susie went to supper with that Ryder man.
When they passed plate around, she shooed flies with her fan.
Oh, you William Ryder! With cider he did load her.
She went out and drank like a dadgone mule and she died with hyrer-pho-bie. CHORUS

I worked all night the other night. I was tired out and in.
When I got up to our door, I walked in with a grin.
My wife she said to me, "Bill, we need some safety pins."
Just then she turned the cover down. There laid two bouncin' twins. CHORUS

An Irishman went to the circus, turned an elephant around.
The elephant swatted him with his trunk and he knocked old Paddy down.
The Irishman jumped up to his feet, said, "You great big ugly brute!
If I knew which end your head was on, I'd punch you in the snoot." CHORUS

I went to bed the other night. I dreamed that I was dead.
I went right up to the pearly gates and there Saint Peter set.
I'd just came up from Charleston. He says, "I do declare!
Come right on in. You are the first that ever came from there." CHORUS
