Sue Songtext
von Bobby Rush

When I was about 15 years old
I was in love with this girl called Sue
Sue, live by the railroad track in my hometown
Let me tell you about her, Sue, she′s good
Oh Sue, I done swear, she's a good one
Let me tell you something else about my Sue

See my daddy he′s a preacher
Daddy told me son leave her alone, 'cause she don't make you no good
But you see daddy don′t know what the hell Sue for now
I′m gonna tell you about her

Everybody, everybody call me a fool
But everybody is somebody's fool
Some said she love me, some said she don′t
But don't make, no difference when you getting what you want

I′m a puppet, hanging by loves strain
All she got to do is kiss me, and I've been alive
Use me, just use me up
Let that woman use me and try to use me up


That girl love so done gon′ strong
I'm like a dog at her palm, I can't let alone
Way that baby love me, should be against the law
She got me running like a chicken with its head cut off

You know what? I′m a puppet in her arm string
All she got to do is promise me and I ding-a-ling
Use me, gotta do me up
Let that woman use me and try to use me up

By the time momma walked in, she said, "Son, why are you so in love with Sue?
Can you tell me what the hell Sue do to you?"
Hard to tell you mother what Sue did
Sat my momma down and said, "Momma
First time I went by Sue house, here′s what she did
She blindfold me and she got a stool
High stool and she sit it on- on the floor
Then she put a short stool right beside it

She got the low stool, I got the high stool, but you'll catch it in the morning
Then she put a blindfold on top of that blindfold
Then she ask me can you see? I said a little bit
Then she put another blindfold on top of that blindfold
Then she ask me can you see? I said I can′t see a dog gon' thing
She said, "Bobby Rush take me by the hand," I took her by the hand"


She said, "Bobby Rush," I said, "Yes," she said, "Feel right here", I feel right there
You know what she then did? She kneeled down
I thought that was all far she was going
But she kneeled down a little more, this time she was damn near to the floor
And she looked up at me and said, "Bobby Rush, you know what I′m gonna do?"
I said ha-ha-ha-ha!

Toes start spreading, my knees start shaking
I was expecting something, and you know what she did?
Let me tell you what she did, can I tell y'all what she did?
Can I tell you what she did
Sue kneeled way down, here′s what she did
She- I said she-
I can't tell ya, I can't tell ya
I can′t tell ya, ah, you don′t need to know

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute hot damn wait a minute
Listen, listen, is everybody grown in here?
Got to say, is everybody grown in here? (Yes)
Everybody grown in here? (Yes)
I must tell you what Sue did then
Let me ask again, uh
Sue kneeled way down, here's what she did, she-
She-, y′all want to hear this too, don't you?
I won′t tell you

I can't tell ya
I can′t tell ya
Sue, she's a goody
Oh Sue, she's a goody
Sue, she′s a goody
