| I heard about her from a friend of mine
|
| He said she lived across the county line
|
| The sweetest grape that ever grew on the vine
|
| And now that’s where I’m spending all my time
|
| Her Daddy, Robert and her Mama, Ruth
|
| They had a daughter they named Bobbie Sue
|
| And now she’s eighteen and she knows the truth
|
| Nobody’s gonna tell her what to do Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bobbie Sue
|
| Can’t, can’t you see my love is true
|
| I want to ma-ma-ma-ma-marry you
|
| Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bobbie Sue
|
| I’ll take her driving on a Friday night
|
| Straight down the highway in the clear moonlight
|
| My Chevy’s humming as she holds me tight
|
| We’ll find a preacher and we’ll do it right
|
| Her Daddy told her that she’d have to wait
|
| Her Mama said don’t make a big mistake,
|
| But we’ll keep driving till we’re out of state
|
| And when they find us it’ll be too late.
|
| Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bobbie Sue
|
| Can’t, can’t you see my love is true
|
| I want to ma-ma-ma-ma-marry you
|
| Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bobbie Sue |
