Am                                           E
Twenty days walking so lonely and talking to myself and the rocks and sand
Am                                               E             Am
Got me to thinking 'bout going and drinking in a tavern with a clean shaven man
Am                                                   E
Just when I thought all souls had been bought by the devil here long ago
Am                                               E             Am
There did I see when I knelt to my knee I little Texas flower grow

Am                                            E
Black-eyed Susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine red like wine
Am                                        E                     Am
Flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find

[Song]

Am                                                      E
Well my newfound friend gave my heart a mend I sang her songs of my wayward ways
Am                                                  E
When day turned to night in the crystal moonlight I confirmed her unwavering gaze
Am                                                E
As the days unravelled I stayed in the gravel and Susan kept her eye on me
Am                                                    E              Am
With my eye on her i felt my heart all astir with the joy of camaraderie

Am                                            E
Black-eyed Susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine red like wine
Am                                        E                     Am
Flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find
