Oh, Susannah's bedraggled but she |
|
Still wears the locket 'round her neck |
|
She's got a picture on the table |
|
Of a man who is young and able |
|
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry |
|
Oh, Susannah's still alive |
|
Whiskey or a gin, that's alright |
|
When there's nothing in her bed at night |
|
She sleeps with the covers down |
|
Hoping that somebody gets in |
|
Doesn't matter what she does |
|
She knows that she can't win |
|
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry |
|
She's got a doll with one eye, |
|
That always cries when it gets some sleep |
|
She's waiting for a soldier to come home |
|
But she'll cry and never die |
|
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry |
|
Oh, Susannah's still alive |
|
Whiskey or a gin, that's alright |
|
When there's nothing in her bed at night |
|
She sleeps with the covers down |
|
Hoping that somebody gets in |
|
Doesn't matter what she does |
|
She knows that she can't win |
|
Oh, Susannah's still alive |
|
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry |
|
Oh, Susannah's still alive |
|
Oh, Susannah's still alive |
