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 a gin, that's all right
There's nothing in her bed at night
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
She's got a doll with one eye
That always cries when it gets some sleep
She's waiting for her soldier to come home
But she'll cry and never die
[Verse 5]
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry
Oh, Susannah's still alive
Whiskey or a gin, that's all right
There's nothing in her bed at night
[Verse 6]
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 7]
Oh, Susannah's gonna cry
Oh, Susannah's still alive
Oh, Susannah's still alive
