Sunbonnet Sue 1908

So that is your new Sunday bonnet?
Well, Sue, it's becoming to you.
With those wonderful things you have on it,
You'll make them "some jealous" dear Sue;
But somehow it sets me to dreaming,
Of the day we first said "Howdy Do"
And I see you once more,
in the bonnet you wore,
When I nicknamed you "Sunbonnet Sue"

Sunbonnet Sue,
Sunbonnet Sue,
Sunshine and roses ran second to you;
You looked so nice,
I kissed you twice,
Under your sunbonnet blue.
It was only a kind of a "kid kiss"
But it tasted lots nicer than pie;
And the next thing I knew,
I was dead stuck on you,
When I was a kid so high.

Sunbonnet Sue,
Sunbonnet Sue,
Sunshine and roses ran second to you;
You looked so nice,
I kissed you twice,
Under your sunbonnet blue.
It was only a kind of a "kid kiss"
But it tasted lots nicer than pie;
And the next thing I knew,
I was dead stuck on you,
When I was a kid so high.

So that is your new Sunday bonnet?
Well, Sue, I must hand it to you.
It's a dream,
and the day that you don it,
They'll take them "some notice" dear Sue;
But though it's a crown for a queen dear,
In my heart there's a soft spot or two,
For the knot that I tied,
That tied my heart inside,
When I tied your old Sunbonnet Sue.

Sunbonnet Sue,
Sunbonnet Sue,
Sunshine and roses ran second to you;
You looked so nice,
I kissed you twice,
Under your sunbonnet blue.
It was only a kind of a "kid kiss"
But it tasted lots nicer than pie;
And the next thing I knew,
I was dead stuck on you,
When I was a kid so high.

Sunbonnet Sue,
Sunbonnet Sue,
Sunshine and roses ran second to you;
You looked so nice,
I kissed you twice,
Under your sunbonnet blue.
It was only a kind of a "kid kiss"
But it tasted lots nicer than pie;
And the next thing I knew,
I was dead stuck on you,
When I was a kid so high.
