Susan When She Tried - The Statler Brothers

I got over Charlotte Thompson, Goldie Johnson

Lord they done me wrong

I took it hard with Peggy Harper

She hurt me bad, but not for long

There’s just one I remember

Makes me feel funny down inside

I’d trade 'em all for just one hour

Of Susan when she tried

No there’s never been a woman

Who could make me weak inside

And give me what I needed

Like Susan when she tried

It gets worse in the summer

When the nights are hot and long

And it’s bad in December

When they play those Christmas songs

So if you ask me and I don’t tell you

Bet your sweet bottom dollar I lied

Cause there’s never been one better

Than Susan when she tried
