Sue (Single Version)

When I was about 15 years old

I was in love with this girl called Sue

Now Sue lived across the railroad track in my hometown

See, I know somebody saying to themself

Bobby Rush, who is Sue?

Well, let me tell you something about Sue right here

Sue

She's a good one

Oh, Sue

Crossed my heart and swam

She's a good one

Let me tell you something about Sue right here

She's 36

44, 43

Maybe just a little bit more

She's a good one

Tell y'all, tell y'all

Sue's a good one

You see, my daddy, he's a preacher

He told me, he said, Bobby Rush

You ought to leave old Sue alone

Then my mother told me one day, she said, Bobby Rush

She said, the whole neighbourhood is laughing at you

Because Sue ain't done nothing

But making a fool out of you and using you, boy

So, I sit my mother down, I said, mama

I said, everybody, everybody call me a fool

But everybody's somebody's fool

Some say she love me, some say she don't

It don't make no difference when you're getting what you want

See, I'm a puppet and I hang by a love string

All she got to do is kiss me one time, y'all

And I'll dangle down

You and me, until you use me up

Oh, let that woman use me, until you use me up

You and me, until you use me up

Oh, let that woman use me, until you use me up

Let me tell you something else about Sue

See, my mama told me one day, she said, Bobby Rush

She said, why are you so in love with Sue?

And, and can you tell me what Sue do to you?

Now, now y'all know it's hard to tell your mother

What Sue do to you

You, you know what I mean, don't you?

But I sit my mother down, I said, mama

I said, you don't really want to know what Sue did

She said, yes

I said, mama, the first time I went by Sue's house

Here's what she did

I can't tell you, can't tell you, you don't need to know

Wait a minute, hey fellas, I said, hey fellas

Can I tell them what she did?

Do you really want to know what Sue did?

She pulled my shoes off, oh, what she did to me

Sue pulled my shoes off, that's what she did to me

She pulled my shoes off, that's what she did to me

Sue pulled my shoes off, that's what she did to me

She pulled my shoes off, that's what she did

She's good

Oh, Sue, tell y'all she's good
