Oh, sweet Savannah Sue, around my heart you cling
Sweet Savannah Sue, well, it's a-ding-a-linging
Got you all day through, I'll sing it
If you don't know how much I think of you

Stars are shinin' bright or blinkin'
Moon is full tonight or winkin'
Lover's lane is right
My honey, oh, you know what I'm thinking

I'll walk with you which should be hunky-dory
And a kiss or two be a trip to glory
So that's nothin' new I'm telling you
You know it's true

Oh, honey, never in old Savannah ever
Was there a grander
Time for me to say I love you
Sweet Savannah Sue
