verse 1
I'm just as blue as I can be
Since Susie said goodbye to me
My life is a failure, I see
And she won't be my gal, no mo', no mo', no mo'.
verse 2
I'll pack my things in a grip
Take me a long ocean trip
Out on a great big steam ship
She'll never see her daddy, no mo'- no mo'
verse 3
Still I hate to say farewell
To my mammy and my sister Nell
They sure gonna cry, when I tell
That I ain't comin' home, no mo' - no mo'
Bridge
yodel ayee, ee o layee, odel aye-ee
ah lee oh lay-ee, ah lee oh lay-ee
odel aye-ee ay-ee o lay-ee
verse 4
Perhaps I'll be sorry someday
That I leave here and go away
But they need not ask me to stay
For I'll never change my mind, no mo' - no mo'
Verse 5
Now whether I'm right or wrong
I'm gonna be gone before long
And then I'll hush this crazy song
And I never will sing, no mo' - no mo'
