Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry, oh, Susannah's still alive
Whiskey or gin, that's all right, 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
[Verse 3]
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry, she's got a doll with one eye
That always cries when she gets some sleep
She's waiting for a soldier to come home, but she'll cry and never die
[Verse 4]
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry, oh, Susannah's still alive
Whiskey or gin, that's all right, 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
[Verse 5]
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry, oh, Susannah's still alive
Oh, Susannah's still alive
