Originally recorded 'live' in the studio for my first solo album, "Just Let Me Dream," with a crack bluegrass outfit, O Susanna remains a favorite.

lyrics

O Susanna
©Nancy K. Dillon 2004


O Susanna, night is coming on.
Take your heart and keep it safe until the dawn.
There I go again - wanting the best for you.
There you go again - saying that we’re through.

O Susanna, stars light one by one.
This old world keeps spinning ‘round the setting sun.
There you go again - flying all apart.
There I go again - the horse before the cart.

Your wings are singed and sunburnt
While I sit like a stone.
My stillness makes you crazy.
You make me feel alone.

O Susanna, don’t you cry for me.
Tune up that old banjo, play a filigree.
Here we go again - dancing on the flame.
Here we go again - the music’s still the same.

Your wings are singed and sunburnt
While I sit like a stone.
My stillness makes you crazy.
You make me feel alone.

O Susanna, don’t you cry for me.
Tune up that old banjo, play an elegy.
Here we go again - dancing on the flame.
Here we go again - the music’s still the same.

Nancy K Dillon Seattle, Washington

On her albums, Nancy K. Dillon maps the road West; the dusty highways that conjure up images like Kerouac's road trips, traveling dustbowl carnivals, and free-spirited 70s hipsters. Inspired by Oklahoma & Texas troubadours Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Kevin Welch, Dillon's songs are short stories about characters that populate true American life. ... more
