Black-Eyed Susan lyrics
Song information
Artist: Laura Veirs Album: Triumphs & Travails Of Orphan Mae
Lyrics
Twenty days walking so lonely and talking to myself and the rocks And sand got me to thinking 'bout going and drinking in a tavern with a clean-shaven man
Just when I thought all souls had been bought by the devil here long ago There did I see when I knelt to my knee I little texas flower grow
Black-eyed susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find
Well my newfound friend gave my heart a mend I sang her songs of my wayward ways When day turned to night in the crystal moonlight I confirmed her unwavering gaze
As the days unraveled I stayed in the gravel and susan kept her eye on me With my eye on her I felt my heart all astir with the joy of camaraderie
Black-eyed susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find
