Come an d sit beside me, little
Susie, down where the willow weeps.
Come and sit beside me, little
Susie, down where the willow cried.
Cause I've got something to tell you,
make you want to die
I have courted you, little
Suzy, many the night and day
I have courted you, little
Susie, many a day and night
But now my time is gone and
I'm bound to go away
I can feel the darkness coming
And my life a caving in
I can feel the darkness coming
And my dreams a falling down
I have watched love as it withered,
like leaves upon the ground.
I need I don't, need I don't.
Can't you hear that train a -comin',
Susie?
Can't you hear the whistle wellin'?
Can't you hear that train a -comin',
Susie?
Can't you hear the whistle cryin'?
It's that southbound
Pennsylvania, on which I'm
bound to run
I know my death waits for me,
somewhere down the road
I know my death waits for me
Somewhere down the line
But I'll drink and my glass is empty
Un til my time of dy ing
Come and sit beside me
Little
Susie
Down where the willow weeps
Come and sit beside me, little
Susie
Down where the willow cries
Cause I've got something to tell you
