Paroles de Black-eyed susan

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
