Susannah's Still Alive

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 all right

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 her 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 all right

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
