Oh, Suzannah'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, Suzannah's gonna cry,


Oh, Suzannah's still alive.

Whiskey or gin, that's alright,


Both have been in her bed at night


She sleeps with the covers down,

Hopin' that somebody gets in.


Doesn't matter what she does,


She knows that she can't win.

Oh, Suzannah's gonna cry.





She's got a doll with one eye,

That always cries when she gets some sleep


She's waiting for a soldier to come home,


But she'll cry and never die.




Oh, Suzannah's gonna cry,


Oh, Suzannah's still alive.

Whiskey or gin, that's alright,


Both have been in her bed at night


She sleeps with the covers down,

Hopin' that somebody gets in.


Doesn't matter what she does,


She knows that she can't win.

Oh, Suzannah's still alive.





Oh, Suzannah's gonna cry,

Oh, Suzannah's still alive.


Oh, Suzannah's still alive.
