Lyrics:
First verse
Long ‘fore dis time, dis darky dwelt In a place call'd Tuscanoe, I lov'd a girl with tawny skin, Her name was Cynthia Sue.
Chorus
Oh! Cynthia, Cynthia, Cynthia, Sue, Oh! Cynthia, Oh! Cynthia, I lubs no gal but you. Oh! Cynthia, Cynthia, Cynthia, Sue, Oh! Cynthia, Oh! Cynthia, I lubs no gal but you.
Second verse
I put my arm around her neck I diden't mean to harm her, She wouldn't let me kiss her, If de Banjo diden't charm her.
(Chorus)
Third Verse
She fainted when I told her, ""I love you Cynthia Sue"" I fann'd her wid de Banjo, But I coulden't fotch her too.
(Chorus)
Fourth Verse
Brutus sleep awake all night, And eat no wittals too, She lib on air and dat are air - and dat are air, War dis ""Oh Cynthia Sue.""
(Chorus)
Fifth Verse
Dey took me down de ribber De flood was high, ‘tis true, But I made it five feet higher, When I wept for Cynthia Sue.
(Chorus)
