G

I went to a tea party three weeks ago

G D7 G

I had never been at one before

G D

I was dressed up in my best, just like this

A D

And got there at a quarter to four

E

The lassie that served me my tea was a queen

A D

One of the bonniest I've ever seen

G C G

Susie MacLean is her name and I'll tell

D A D

I've never done nae thing but sing to mysel'

G D

Since I met her.

G D7

CHORUS: Susie MacLean

G A D

When are you going to change your name?

G D7 C G

Just say the word and I'll make you my wife

D7 G

And I'll love you forever the rest of your life



I asked her if she ever had been in love

And she told me that she never had

Well I said, "You're a love," ach, I said "You're a dove."

But she just said, "Away, you young man."

I teased her and squeezed her, she said I was rough

Then she gave me a cuff on the jaw with her muff

But when I got home I sat down and wrote

A letter to Susie and this is the note

That I wrote her.
