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 momma 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
Bobbie Sue
Can't, can't you see my love is true?
I want to marry you
Bobbie Sue
I'll take her riding on a Friday night
Straight down the highway in the clear moonlight
My Chevy's humming and 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 momma 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
Bobbie Sue
Can't, can't you see my love is true?
I want to marry you
Bobbie Sue
Bobbie Sue
Can't, can't you see my love is true?
I want to marry you
Bobbie Sue
Bobbie Sue
Bobbie Sue
