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 gin, that's alright
When there's nothing 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, 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 gin, that's alright
When there's nothing 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, Susannah's still alive Oh, Susannah's gonna cry
Oh, Susannah's still alive
Oh, Susannah's still alive
