Lyrics
- Sometime ago I started out to seek my fortune
Out in the west, the Golden West
I’d often heard that money grew out there on bushes
I could not rest, till I could test
So in Anaconda in Montana I just made a start
And at once I met the Dearest girl
And gave to her my heart
She was tall and handsome always dancing
Happy as a lark
And as good as she could be
Chorus
She was my girl from Anaconda
She was tall and handsome, too
When she went out in her runabout
They said, “There goes Miss Sue”
But she was mine she said
And no one could ever win her love from me
And that I knew for she’s true blue
She was my Darling Sue
- I knew that I would have to go to work and hustle
Out with the boys, the mining boys
So Sue and I could go back home to New York City
To hear the noise, the city noise
We had planned for wedding bells
As soon as I could make a stake
And to go back East and live in ease
For satisfaction sake
So I made big money very quick
And then we named the day
Now we’re happy as can be
