Black-Eyed Susie Lyrics

Well Black-Eyed Susie went huckleberry pickin'
The boys got drunk and Susie took a lickin'
Some got drunk, some got boozy
I went home with Black-Eyed Susie Susie

chorus:
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
Hey Black-Eyed Susie
Hey, hey, hey

Well Black-Eyed Susie, about half drunk
Jumped on the boys like a dog on a bone
I asked her to be my wife
She come after me with a Bowie knife

repeat chorus

All I need to make me happy
Is two little boys to call me Pappy
One named Tom, the other named Davy
One loves biscuits, the other loves gravy

repeat chorus

Well, I love my wife, I love my baby
Love my biscuits sopped in gravy
Come back home with a pocket full of money
Somebody there gonna call me honey

repeat chorus

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
