Little Susie
by Hay Babes
about
First single off our upcoming LP to be released Summer 2016!
lyrics
Come and go with me little Susie won’t you take a walk
down to Spring Creek for a bit so that we can talk
of all the things so pretty and green; we’ll wade into the shore.
I’ll grab you round and toss you down and little Susie will be no more.
Now once I saw what a deed I done I ran for my life,
'Cause that sweet pretty little Susie was to be my wife.
I hopped on the train headed way out west where I would not be found.
I know if her mama and her papa got me I’d be six feet underground.
‘Neath the pines in Washington I laid out in the dark.
Nothing to hold me nothing to hear 'cept the wind running through the bark.
One night I thought I saw her face a-shinin’ in the moonlight.
I’m miles away but I’ll never forget what happened on that night.
down to Spring Creek for a bit so that we can talk
of all the things so pretty and green; we’ll wade into the shore.
I’ll grab you round and toss you down and little Susie will be no more.
Now once I saw what a deed I done I ran for my life,
'Cause that sweet pretty little Susie was to be my wife.
I hopped on the train headed way out west where I would not be found.
I know if her mama and her papa got me I’d be six feet underground.
‘Neath the pines in Washington I laid out in the dark.
Nothing to hold me nothing to hear 'cept the wind running through the bark.
One night I thought I saw her face a-shinin’ in the moonlight.
I’m miles away but I’ll never forget what happened on that night.

Hay Babes Oakland, California
With their signature blend of old time, country, and bluegrass tunes, Hay Babes burst onto the Bay Area music scene in 2013. Boasting the double threat of Wendy and Megan at the helm, and backed by a rhythm section of two semi-vagrant callus-handed Buckaroos, Hay Babes will knock politely on the door of your heart then pull a Winchester and force entry the moment you crack the door. ... more
