| Suzanne was the jewel keeper
|
| In a word she stole all the jewels
|
| And she took them to a foreign land
|
| Which was strictly against all the rules
|
| And she wore them all proudly
|
| Like a tiara crown on her head
|
| She slept with them at night
|
| Suzanne and the jewels in a bed
|
| Suzanne and her jewels
|
| Livin' on the edge of a friend
|
| Suzanne, how will you sleep at night
|
| When they take that crown from your head?
|
| Suzanne lived down by the river
|
| The fountain of youth did flow
|
| And she played on a steel guitar
|
| And the drifters did come and they’d go
|
| And she’d put on her crown
|
| And she’d sing them a song
|
| And some drifters would stay here the night
|
| But they never did stay long
|
| Suzanne and her jewels
|
| Livin' on the edge of a friend
|
| Suzanne, how will you sleep at night
|
| When they take that crown from your head?
|
| This girl flew on the wind
|
| She wrote her own name in the stars
|
| Just goes to show sometimes you win
|
| No matter how crazy you are
|
| But a thief can come knocking
|
| Even with blood on the door
|
| And drink up your fountain of youth
|
| And throw your jewels and your crown on the floor
|
| Suzanne and her jewels
|
| Livin' on the edge of a friend
|
| Suzanne, how will you sleep at night
|
| When they take that crown from your head?
|
| Suzanne and her jewels
|
| Livin' on the edge of a friend
|
| Suzanne, how will you sleep at night
|
| When they take that crown off your head? |
