Lieutenant Jameson and California Sue Lyrics

Lieutenant Jameson said to the squad

Boys I've been here before

There's a sweet spot just over a hill

Where California Sue has a store

California Sue, California Sue

A half day march and down the hill

Lieutenant Jameson said to his troops

I hope she remembers me still

California Sue, California Sue

A half day march and down the hill

Lieutenant Jameson said to his troops

I hope she remembers me still

California Sue was in a war zone

And to thrive she had to know

A regiment was off to the east

Where Lieutenant Jameson had to go

Lieutenant Jameson, Lieutenant Jameson

Unaware and marching east

California Sue then turned to the girls

I think he might need a priest

Lieutenant Jameson, Lieutenant Jameson

Unaware and marching east

California Sue then turned to the girls

I think he might need a priest

Lieutenant Jameson lost his squad

Destroyed in surprise and fear

His final words were lost as he fell

And California Sue was not near

California Sue, California Sue

Next day she heard how he fell

Lieutenant Jameson she would mourn

But first she had to serve her clientele

California Sue, California Sue

Next day she heard how he fell

Lieutenant Jameson she would mourn

But first she had to serve her clientele
