VERSE
Susie (Dramas)
Elton John
I got frostbitten in the winter
Ice skating on the river
With my pretty little black-eyed girl
She'd make your darn toes curl just to see her
I got a fringe front on my buggy
I got a frisky little colt in a hurry
And a pretty little black-eyed Suzie by my side
Well she sure knows how to use me
Pretty little black-eyed Suzie
Playing hooky with my heart all the time
Living with her funky family
In a derelict old alley
Down by the river where we share a little loving in the moonshine
I'm an old hayseed harp player
I'm the hit of the county fair
With my pretty little black-eyed girl
Living proof as she swirls
She's a dancer

About this Song
Released in 1971 as part of the album 'Madman Across the Water', 'Susie (Dramas)' by Elton John captures the essence of youthful exuberance and romantic entanglements. The song vividly illustrates the whimsical highs and dramatic lows of young love. The protagonist, presumably experiencing the throes of a passionate yet turbulent relationship with Susie, navigates various emotional landscapes. Key themes include the nostalgia of young love, the roller-coaster nature of romantic drama, and the bittersweet taste of fleeting moments. Poignant moments in the song are highlighted by Elton John's emotive piano melodies and Bernie Taupin's evocative lyrics, such as the tender recounting of shared memories and the realization of love's often tumultuous journey.
