Sue Or Susanna

Down in South Jamaica I was sittin' in a bar
Stumbled in was this little Irish maiden
Susan I've found her name was
Please put the liquor down
Ooh honey, you're too good for this place

But to my own surprise
You worked the bar at nights
Now I think I suddenly love ya
Drunken your natural state, yet
You Still recall my name
Sue or Suzanna I love ya

Ou ou oh Susan
Take my lonely hand
And fly away
Keep my secret strong
Gimme the whiskey now
So we can dance again

But another night by the bottle
I'd like to get warmer honey
So take my money
And please pour that glass again
And another day lost in space
I cannot escape the beat
Of the drum that plays your song
And keeps it going on
Keeps It going on
Keeps it going on
Keeps it going on

Lost in the drink and there you'll find
We're fossilized in time
Like an amber rock divine
With two lovers just inside
And we'll dance til we drop
Like the leaves in the end of fall
When the New York winter comes

Like another night by the bottle
Our time it grows shorter, honey
So I beg you honey
Please, play that tune again
And another day, lost in sleep
You cannot escape the beat
Of the drum that plays your song
So you keep on going on
Keep on going on
Keep on going on
Keep on going on

Ou ou oh Susan
Take my lonely hand
And fly away
Keep my secret strong
Gimme the whiskey now
So we can dance again

And I'm finally getting sober
And the colors everywhere turn to grey
And Sue or Susanna your hands start to slip away

Ou ou oh Susan
Take my lonely hand
And fly away
Keep my secret strong
Gimme the whiskey now
So we can dance again
