The Oak Ridge Boys Bobbie Sue lyrics

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 spending 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

Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bobbie Sue 

Can't, can't you see my love is true 

I want to ma-ma-ma-ma-marry you 

Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bobbie Sue

I'll take her driving on a Friday night 

Straight down the highway in the clear moonlight 

My Chevy's humming as 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.

Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bobbie Sue 

Can't, can't you see my love is true 

I want to ma-ma-ma-ma-marry you 

Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bobbie Sue
