Susie Lee

i>Spoken: Listen folks, I'll tell you the liquor business is in The worst shape than it ever was and I'll tell you for the reason why. A man's got to buy enough to make him drunk in order to get a drink. Ha Ha!

Now folks pay attention, listen unto me
I'll sing you 'bout little girl, I used to go to see

She's light as a feather, she's green as she can be
Some called her Dutch and Irish, her name was Susie Lee

Had her down to Farnham, the other afternoon
Showed her the hippopotamus and that big racoon

Showed her the rhinoscerous and that monstrous whale
Bottom of ginbone alley, went sliding down the rail

I carried her to a restaurant, said what will you take
She ate three stews and forty fries, and fifty pounds of steak

Asked if she ever eat anymore she gave an awful yell
Said, "Naw she believed she wouldn't have eaten, if he'd fed her well."

I hired a horse and wagon, oh, for to take her light
Drove myself from Cindy Ann, right through Pencil Pike
