Pappy told her, Susie gal,
You’ll have to find another.
You’ll have to find another.
I’d just as soon yo’ ma don’t know,

So Susie put aside her Joe
And planned to marry Will.

He said, “thars trouble still.”
And planned to marry Will.

He said, “thars trouble still.”
You can’t marry Will, my gal,
And please don’t tell yo' mother.

But Will and Joe, and several mo’

But mamma knew and said, my child,
Just do what makes yo’ happy.
Marry Will or marry Joe;
Just do what makes yo’ happy.
Marry Will or marry Joe;
You ain’t no kin to pappy.
