All the way through Kentucky, across Tennessee
I'd been travelling so long to see the queen of country,
Just to hear her sweet voice, see her face,
Watch her moving with grace,
Join in with her love songs.
Thunder and lightning, it poured down with rain
On her way she boarded a plane, the queen of country.
Thousands of fans singing madly
To welcome her gladly
Patiently waiting.
Then they held their breaths,
The announcer could not keep from crying
As he mumbled: our queen is now dying,
When the plane crashed, no one survived.
And they cry, feeling so sad and so lonely.
Wonder why Suzie, the one and the only.
Oh, they pray and they hope:
In a heavenly choir
She'll sing songs of love.
And they will be able
To hear from above.
Looks full of sadness and full of dismay
They played the last record she made,
The queen of country.
Thousands of fans singing sadly
Missing her badly
Hopelessly waiting.
Then they held their breaths,
The announcer could not keep from crying
As he mumbled: our queen is dying,
When the plane crashed, no one survived
