  • Lazy flower, my, you've grown so tall
    I have lost and loved him, you have seen it all

    Lazy Susan, lazy through, hasn't got a thing to do
    Oh, but to sit there and light up the hillside, sun-fried, black-eyed Sue

    Lazy Susan, lazy through, all the hills in love with you
    Courted and cradled by Heaven and hillside, sun-fried
    Black-eyed Sue, black-eyed Sue, black-eyed

    Black-eyed Sue, how happy you must be
    Once, I too had someone loving me

    Johnny, Johnny, warm and true, that's how I remember you
    This morning, just as I found you, up there on the hillside
    With sun-fried, black-eyed lazy Susan, Susan Writer/s: Laura Nyro
