Susan When She Tried

Statler Brothers


I got over Charlotte Thompson, Goldie Johnson, 
Lord they done me wrong 
I took it hard with Peggy Harper 
She hurt me bad, but not for long 
There's just one I remember 
Makes me feel funny down inside 
I'd trade 'em all for just one hour 
Of Susan when she tried 

No there's never had a woman 
Who could make me weak inside 
And give me what I needed 
Like Susan when she tried 

It gets worse in the summer 
When the nights are hot and long 
And it's bad in December 
When they play those Christmas songs 
So if you ask me and I don't tell you 
Bet your sweet bottom dollar I lied 
'Cause there's never been one better 
Than Susan when she tried
