Black eyed Susan
Oh where have you been?
Youâ??ve made up your mind about telling a friend
How comfort once robbed you of passion
And paid for the home that you stayed in
And bed where you laid
Oh my black eyed Susan
Oh my black eyed Susan
I cannot removed the sand from my sheets
I will not erase the scent of defeat
Maybe Iâ??ll see you again
Oh my black eyed Susan
Oh my black eyed Susan
Black eyed Susan
Submissive and kind
Nocturnal mistress with me in my mind
Youâ??ve buried those pictures
From when you were young
Thereâ??s no voice of mother in the songs that you sung
When will you learn that you get what you deserve?
Oh my black eyed Susan
I wrapped you in blankets and dragged you through the rain
May God forgive me for killing you in vain
Now youâ??re the flower thatâ??s growing from your grave
Oh my black eyed Susan
