Lyrics and translation Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys - Sunbonnet Sue

Sunbonnet Sue

Sunbonnet Sue
When I said goodbye to you
You promised you'd be true
Sunbonnet Sue
When skies are blue
I wanna hear you say I do
For I'm in love with you
Sunbonnet Sue

Don't care about Miss Sadie Green or Virginia from the mountains blue
Not Jenny lee from Tennessee or not ol' true blue Lou
I don't care about Ramona and I don't miss my Swiss
But the girl I'm telling you about is a Mississippi Miss

Sunbonnet Sue
When I said goodbye to you
You promised you'd be true
Sunbonnet Sue
When skies are blue
I wanna hear you say I do
For I'm in love with you
Sunbonnet Sue

I met her in the springtime
The sun was shining down
Beneath the red sunbonnet shone
Two big eyes of brown
But things were dimmed with teardrops
When she gave me a kiss
And said when you are coming back
To your Mississippi Miss

Sunbonnet Sue
When I said goodbye to you
You promised you'd be true
Sunbonnet Sue
When skies are blue
I wanna hear you say I do
For I'm in love with you
Sunbonnet Sue

Sunbonnet Sue
When I said goodbye to you
You promised you'd be true
Sunbonnet Sue
When skies are blue
I wanna hear you say I do
For I'm in love with you
Sunbonnet Sue

Sunbonnet Sue
Quand je t'ai dit au revoir
Tu as promis que tu serais vraie
Sunbonnet Sue
Quand le ciel est bleu
J'aimerais t'entendre dire "oui"
Car je suis amoureux de toi
Sunbonnet Sue

Je ne me soucie pas de Miss Sadie Green ni de Virginia des montagnes bleues
Ni de Jenny Lee du Tennessee ni de la vieille Lou fidèle
Je ne me soucie pas de Ramona et je ne manque pas ma Suisse
Mais la fille dont je te parle est une Mississipienne

Sunbonnet Sue
Quand je t'ai dit au revoir
Tu as promis que tu serais vraie
Sunbonnet Sue
Quand le ciel est bleu
J'aimerais t'entendre dire "oui"
Car je suis amoureux de toi
Sunbonnet Sue

Je l'ai rencontrée au printemps
Le soleil brillait
Sous le bonnet rouge brillaient
Deux grands yeux bruns
Mais les choses ont été obscurcies par les larmes
Quand elle m'a donné un baiser
Et a dit quand reviendras-tu
Chez ta Mississipienne

Sunbonnet Sue
Quand je t'ai dit au revoir
Tu as promis que tu serais vraie
Sunbonnet Sue
Quand le ciel est bleu
J'aimerais t'entendre dire "oui"
Car je suis amoureux de toi
Sunbonnet Sue

Sunbonnet Sue
Quand je t'ai dit au revoir
Tu as promis que tu serais vraie
Sunbonnet Sue
Quand le ciel est bleu
J'aimerais t'entendre dire "oui"
Car je suis amoureux de toi
Sunbonnet Sue
