Pride Blues

Susie's outside my house again pointing a shotgun at my chair
Susie's outside my house again pointing a shotgun at my chair
Waiting for me to come outside, yeah

Set me down for eight months, left this child at my door
Set me down for eight months, left this child at my front door
She's taken all my money, gonna take a little more

But I said no
No no no
I said no no no
No no no
Take this child
Take him and go

She ain't got no money
Ain't got no cash
Ain't got no whiskey
And no love to pass
She came up to me and I had all of that

But I said no
No no no
I said no no no
No no no
Take this child
Take him and go

She loved me easy, and that's a fact
She robbed me blindly, and that's a fact
She took my seed, and now she wanna give it back

But I said no
No no no
I said no no no
No no no
Take this child
Take him and go

Susie come up quickly
Put that shotgun against my head
Susie come up quickly
Put that shotgun against my head
Oh yeah
And as she pulled the trigger, she said my boy was dead
