Oak Ridge Boys Lyrics

Album: Unknown

Barbara Sue

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 

 

 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
