Subject: Lyr Add: Susan Van Doozen From: Joe Offer Date: 27 May 09 - 02:25 PM Bob Coltman mentioned this in another thread, and I thought it deserved to be posted in its entirety, such as it is. First, here's what Bob posted: http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?ThreadID=121150
You stick to my bosom like glue, When this you're perusin', remember I'm musin', Sweet Susan Van Doozen, on you, So don't be abusin' my offer and bruisin' A heart that is willin' to woo, And please be excusin', and not be refusin', Oh! Susan Van Doozen, please do. Here are the lyrics I found: SUSAN VAN DOOZEN I 'll write, for I 'm witty, a popular ditty,
Now through it I'll scatter—a quite easy matter— from Cape Cod Ballads. 1902. pages 79-80 Source: http://capecodhistory.us/Garland-Lincoln/Susan_van_Doozen.html There's a recording you can listen to here (click) (Instrumental only) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Susan Van Doozen (Lincoln, Shepherd) From: GUEST Date: 28 Jan 18 - 01:48 PM When I was a little girl in the 50’s my daddy called me Susan MacGoozan, and used to recite the name with “she sticks to my bosom like glue”. He passed when I was only 7, but as a young woman a friend of his then quoted to me “I’d rather be losin my cig’rettes n boozin than losin my Susan MacGoozan”. I hadn’t known it was an wild song until then. Looks like they may have gotten some of the words mixed up, but so much fun to find it here. Thank you! |
