Lazy flower, my, you’ve grown so tall. I have lost and loved him, you have seen it all.

Lazy Susan, lazy through, hasn’t got a think to do.
Oh, but to sit there and light up the hillside, sun-fried, black-eyed Sue.

Lazy Susan, lazy through, all the hills in love with you,
Courted and cradled by Heaven and hillside, sun-fried,
black-eyed Sue, black-eyed Sue, black-eyed.

Black-eyed Sue, how happy you must be. Once, I too had someone loving me.

Johnny, Johnny, warm and true, that’s how I remember you,
this morning, just as I found you: up there on the hillside
with sun-fried, black-eyed lazy Susan, Susan.
