\beginverse
\[C#m]Twenty days walking so lonely and talking
To my\[G#]self and the rocks and sand
\[C#m]Got me to thinking 'bout going and drinking
In a \[G#]tavern with a clean-sha\[C#m]ven man
\endverse
\beginverse*
Just when I thought all souls had been bought
By the devil here long ago
There did I see when I knelt to my knee
A little Texas flower grow
\endverse
\beginchorus
\[C#m]Black-eyed Susan by the roadside blooming
All \[G#]yellow like sunshine, red like wine
\[C#m]Flower like you, in a desert this cruel
My-\[G#]my, you're a rare-rare \[C#m]find
\endchorus
\beginverse
Well, my newfound friend gave my heart a mend
I sang her songs of my wayward ways
As day turned to night in the crystal moonlight
I confirmed her unwavering gaze
\endverse
\beginverse*
As the days unraveled, I stayed in the gravel
And Susan kept her eye on me
With my eye on her, I felt my heart all astir
With the joy of camaraderie
\endverse
\endsong
