I heard about her
from a friend of mine
He said she lived
across the county line
The sweetest grape
that ever grew on the vine
And now that's where
I'm spendin' all my time
Her daddy Robert
And her mama Ruth
They had a daughter
they named Bobbie Sue
And now she's eighteen
And she knows the truth
Nobody's gonna tell her
what to do
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo Bobbie Sue
Hey can't you see
my love is true
I want to ma-ma-ma-ma
marry you
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo
Bobbie Sue
I'll take her ridin'
on a Friday night
Straight down the highway
in the clear moonlight
My Chevy's hummin'
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 drivin'
till we're out of state
And when they find us
it'll be too late
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo Bobbie Sue
Hey can't you see
my love is true
I want to ma-ma-ma-ma
marry you
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo
Bobbie Sue
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo Bobbie Sue
Hey can't you see
my love is true
I want to ma-ma-ma-ma
marry you
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo
Bobbie Sue
