[Intro]
Ever since Susan Johnson lost her Jockey, Lee
There has been much excitement and more to be
You can hear her moaning night and morn:
"Yes, I wonder where my easy rider's gone?"
Now, cable grams come of sympathy
Telegrams go of inquiry
Letters come from Alabam' and everywhere that Uncle Sam
Has even a rural delivery
[Verse 1]
All day the phone rings but it's not for me
And at last good tidings fill our hearts with glee
And this message comes all the way from Tennessee
This what it said:
[Verse 2]
Dear Sue, your easy rider struck this burg today
On a south-bound rattler, a side door Pullman car
Seen him here and he was on the hog
[Verse 3]
I said, easy rider's gotta stay away
So he had to vamp it but the hike ain't far
He's gone where the southern cross the Yellow Dog
Ever since Susan Johnson lost her Jockey, Lee
There has been much excitement and more to be
You can hear her moaning night and morn:
"Yes, I wonder where my easy rider's gone?"
Now, cable grams come of sympathy
Telegrams go of inquiry
Letters come from Alabam' and everywhere that Uncle Sam
Has even a rural delivery
[Verse 1]
All day the phone rings but it's not for me
And at last good tidings fill our hearts with glee
And this message comes all the way from Tennessee
This what it said:
[Verse 2]
Dear Sue, your easy rider struck this burg today
On a south-bound rattler, a side door Pullman car
Seen him here and he was on the hog
[Verse 3]
I said, easy rider's gotta stay away
So he had to vamp it but the hike ain't far
He's gone where the southern cross the Yellow Dog
