My Creole Sue 1898

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 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.

My Creole Sue, how I love you,
I love you still, and always will,
I sigh for you, I do, I do,
and my thoughts are all of you,
my Creole Sue.

Through life's journey
I have never seen a face to me so fair,
I've never heard a voice that sounds 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."

My Creole Sue, how I love you,
I love you still, and always will,
I sigh for you, I do, I do,
and my thoughts are all of you,
my Creole Sue.
