Susie Lee fell in love.

She planned to marry Joe.

She was so happy bout it all,

and planned to marry Will.

he said, Theres trouble still.

You cant marry Will, my gal,

and please dont tell yo mother,

cause Will and Joe and several mo

But Mama knew and said Honey Child,

Do what makes yo happy.

Marry Will or marry Joe,
