Black-eyed Susan.
Little black-eyed Susan
Through the meadows went
Pretty little Sukey-Sue!
To visit her Grandmother
Was the little maid’s intent,
And to wish her a “how-de-do?”
Little black-eyed Susan
Was a clever child;
Pretty little Sukey-Sue!
And to every one who came along,
She courtesied and she smiled,
With a nice little “how-de-do?”
Little black-eyed Susan
Stopped awhile to rest;
Pretty little Sukey-Sue!
When a lot of funny little folks,
In black and yellow drest,
Popped up, and said “why! how-de-do?”
Little black-eyed Susan,
Pretty courtesies made;
Clever little Sukey-Sue!
And nodding to the other
Black-eyed Susans, sweetly said,
“I’m pretty well. Pray how are you?”
