1
E'er since Miss Susan Johnson lost her Jockey, Lee
2
There has been much excitement, more to be
3
You can hear her moaning night and morn
4
Wonder where my easy rider's gone?
5
Cable grams come of sympathy
6
Telegrams go of inquiry
7
Letters come from down in, 'Bam'
8
And everywhere that Uncle Sam
9
Has even a rural delivery
10
All day the phone rings but it's not for me
11
At last good tidings fill our hearts with glee
12
This message comes from Tennessee
13
Dear Sue, your easy rider struck this burg today
14
On a south-bound rattler side door Pullman car
15
Seen him here an' he was on the hog
16
Spoken the smoke was broke, no joke, not a jitney on him
17
Easy rider's gotta stay away
18
So he had to vamp it but the hike ain't far
19
He's gone where the southern cross' the Yellow Dog
20
I know the Yellow Dog district like a book
21
Indeed I know the route that rider took
22
Ev'ry cross tie, bayou, burg and bog
23
Way down where the southern cross' the Dog
24
Money don't zactly grow on trees
25
On cotton stalks it grows with ease
26
No race horse, race track, no grand stand
27
Is like old beck and buckshot land
28
Down where the southern cross' the Dog
29
Every kitchen there is a cabaret
30
Down there the Boll Weevil works while the darkies play
31
This Yellow Dog blues the live long day
32
Dear Sue, your easy rider struck this burg today
33
On a south-bound rattler side door Pullman car
34
Seen him here an' he was on the hog
35
Spoken the smoke was broke, no joke, not a jitney on him
36
Easy rider's gotta stay away
37
So he had to vamp it but the hike ain't far
38
He's gone where the southern cross' the Yellow Dog
