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   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 he 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   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
