If you care for somethin' sweet
In a gingham gown,
Give youself a break and meet
Black eyed Susan Brown.

Who gives you that southern drawl
When she comes around?
Gets you with that "how you all!",
Black eyed Susan Brown.

Sugar stuff, sure enough,
You'll get a thrill!
You won't know what you're missin', until
You meet her!

Who's the sweetest company
When the sun goes down?
No one but that heavenly
Black eyed Susan Brown.

If you're gonna give some awful sweet,
You're gonna find her in a gingham gown.
Why don't you give yourself a treat?
Meet sweet Susan Brown!

You do that southern drawl
When she comes around,
Gets you with that "howdy doody do ya!",
Black eyed Susan Brown.

Sugar stuff, sure enough,
You'll get a thrill!
(scat)
You should see her when she comes to town, oh!

Who's that sweetest company
When sun goes down?
No one but that heavenly
Sweet Georgia -
(oh no fellers, you're mistaken, why it's black eyed Susan Brown!)
(scat)
Black eyed Susan Brown!
