Sunbonnet Sue when I said goodbye to you
You promised you'd be true Sunbonnet Sue
When skies are blue I wanna hear you say I do
For I'm in love with you Sunbonnet Sue
I met her in the springtime the sun was shining down
Beneath the red sunbonnet shown two big eyes of brown
But things were dimmed with teardrops when she gave me a kiss
And said when are you coming back to your Mississippi Miss
Don't care about Miss Sadie Green or Virginia from the mountains blue
Not Jenny Lee from Tennessee or not ol' true blue Lou
Don't care about Ramona and I don't miss my Swiss
But the girl I'm telling you about is a Mississippi Miss
