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 alright 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 gonna cry She's got a doll with one eye, That always cries when it gets some sleep She's waiting for a 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 alright 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 Oh, Susannah's gonna cry Oh, Susannah's still alive Oh, Susannah's still alive
