Sussy Moore

Came long away from California
To a woman of mine
I was there to stay all her money
For a long long time
She was rich and I was poor
Her name was Sussy Moore
She didn’t know that I was a gambler
That lived outside the law
And then I went back to California
Trying to forget what happened in that mind
And then I went back to California
Trying to forget what I was there to find
She was rich and I was poor
Her name was Sussy Moore
She didn’t know that I was a gambler
That lived outside the law
I was there to stay her money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
And then I went back to California
Trying to forget what happened in that mind
And then I went back to California
Trying to forget what I was there to find
Came long away from California
To a woman of mine
I was there to stay all her money
For a long long time
She was rich and I was poor
Her name was Sussy Moore
Fell in love with a lady
Didn’t get what I was looking for
And now I’m back here in California
(And now I’m back in ol' California)
I’m getting old and my hair has turned to gray
(I'm getting old and my hair has turned to gray)
So many years have passed in California
(So many years have passed here in ol' California)
But Sussy Moore, I still love you the same ol' way
(But Sussy Moore, I still love you the same ol' way)
