Well since it's quiet and we've all had a few
And I know you are my friends
I'll talk of Susannah as I always do
When I have found an ear to bend
She closed her eyes
And saw nothing of her own
And I said Susannah, don't cry
Then I closed her eyes and went far from my home
And I sang Oh Susannah
Now when I call Susannah
She goes ahhhh, you've come home
But I'm 800 miles from her
Then when she tells me I want you here
Oooooh, I wish I were
She closed her eyes and saw nothing of her own
And I said Susannah, don't cry
Then I closed her eyes and soon far did I roam
And I sang Oh Susannah
She closed her eyes and saw nothing of her own
And I said Susannah don't cry
Then I closed her eyes and went far from my home
And I sang Oh Susannah
