Oh Susannah

Every girl is a daughter

But you're not quite the same

You're like fire in the water

And smoke on the rain

You've got a sweet something about you

Something hard to name

The way your hair falls on your shoulders

It's hard to explain, oh no

Oh Susannah

If ever the world drags you down

Call my name

And I'll come around

And I'll sit down beside you

And I won't make a sound

Oh Susannah

I wanna walk down by the water

I wanna stand round there and grieve

I wanna treat it like an altar

With you right there with me, yeah

Oh Susannah

If ever the world drags you down

Call my name

And I'll come around

And I'll sit down beside you

And I won't make a sound

Oh Susannah

I have been traveling and I've been talking stock

So when I get home, there's no need to talk

'Cause I feel we've said all that there is to say

And even though we're parting ways

Oh Susannah

If ever the world drags you down

Call my name

And I'll come around

And I'll sit down beside you

And I won't make a sound

Oh Susannah
