Suzanna

Dance all night with a bottle in my hand
Dance all night with a bottle in my hand
Stand on the corner shoutin' at the man
Oh - oh- oh- oh- , shoutin' at the man.
Refrain
Oh Suzanna, don't you cry for me, don't you cry for me
Old wool coat gettin' heavy in the rain
Old wool coat gettin' heavy in the rain
Wet dog sniff me like I'm long lost kin
Oh - oh- oh- oh, like I'm long lost kin
Retrain
Waitin for a bus but she never come
Waitin for a bus but she never come
Lone night, Street light, bus don't run
Oh - oh- oh- oh, bus don't run
Refrain
Re-mote control in the hand of God
Re-mote control in the hand of God
Gonna change the channel with his lightin' rod
Oh - oh- oh- oh, with his lightnin' rod.
Refrain
Fought in the War, I don't know which
Fought in the War, I don't know which
Wake up moanin' in a sandy ditch
Oh - oh- oh- oh- oh, in the son of a bitch
Refrain
