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,
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, 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,
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, Suzannah's still alive

Oh, Suzannah's gonna cry,
Oh, Suzannah's still alive
Oh, Suzannah's still alive
