Barbara Sue Lyrics

by The Oak Ridge Boys

I heard about her from a friend of mine
He said she lives across the county line
The sweetest pick that ever grew on the vine
And now that's where I'm spending all my time

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e60519-the_oak_ridge_boys~barbara_sue_lyrics.html ]
Her daddy Robert and her mama Ruth
They had a daughter name of Barbara Sue
And now she's eighteen and she knows the truth
Nobody's gonna tell her what to do

Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barbara Sue
Ca-can't you see my love is true?
I want to ma-ma-ma-marry you
Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barbara Sue

I'll take her riding on a Friday night
Straight down the highway in the clear moonlight
My Chevy's humming and she holds me tight
We'll find a preacher and we'll do it right

Her daddy told her that she'd have to wait
Her mama said, "Don't make a big mistake"
But we'll keep driving till we're out of state
And when they find us it'll be too late

Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barbara Sue
Ca-can't you see my love is true?
I want to ma-ma-ma-marry you
Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barbara Sue

Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barbara Sue
Ca-can't you see my love is true?
I want to ma-ma-ma-marry you
Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barbara Sue

Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barbara Sue

Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Barbara Sue
