lyrics

O Susanna
© 2004 Nancy K. Dillon

1) O Susanna, night is comin' on
Take your heart and keep it safe until the dawn
There I go again: wantin' the best for you
There you go again: sayin' that we're through

2) O Susanna, stars light one by one
This old world keeps spinnin' 'round the setting sun
There you go again: flyin' all apart
There I go again: the horse before the cart

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

3) O Susanna, don't you cry for me
Tune up that old banjo and play a filigree
Here we go again: dancin' on the flame
Here we go again: the music's still the same

BRIDGE

4) O Susanna, don't you cry for me
Tune up that old banjo and play an elegy
Here we go again: dancin' on the flame
Here we go again: the music's still the same
O Susanna

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
