Lyrics:
First verse
While tonight I sit reflecting over mem'ries of the past, My thoughts turn to the Lousiana shore; There my heart first found its happiness and may it ever last, Oh, that little girl I'll love forever more, When e'er I think of angels then I seem to see her face There never beat a heart so fond and true; And when I left the sunny South, right there I left my heart, She's the sunlight of my life my Creole Sue.
Second verse
Through life's journey I have never seen a face to me so fair, I've never heard a voice that sound so sweet; And I oft' think of the moonlight nights that I spent with her there. For with her my happiness was quite complete. A memory still haunts me and no matter where I roam Her words will linger in my ear through life; One night she whispered softly, ""Oh, I love you yes I do, And I promise you some day to be your wife.""
