The Yellow Dog Blues |
| Ever since Miss Susie Johnson |
| Lost her jockey Lee |
| There has been much excitement |
| And more to be |
| You can hear her moanin' |
| Moanin' night and morn |
| She’s wonderin' where her |
| Easy rider’s gone |
| Cablegrams goes off in inquiry |
| Telegrams goes off in sympathy |
| Letters came from down in Bam |
| Everywhere that Uncle Sam |
| Is the ruler of delivery |
| All day the phone rings, it’s not for me |
| At last good tidings fills my heart with glee |
| This message came from Tennessee |
| Dear Sue, your easy rider struck this burg today |
| On a southbound rattler beside the Pullman car |
| I seen him there and he was on the hog |
| Oh, you easy rider’s got to stay away |
| She had to vamp it but the hike ain’t far |
| He’s gone where the Southern cross the Yellow Dog |
