Susannah

(paul cotton)

Susannah there was peace between
Our fathers
How we ceased lo be a bother
We would run together in the morning light
And separate until the cool of night
Oh my susannah

We can throw our dreams together
Though my other wing of feather
How can you stop the lightening,
In the sky and as the rains run red
One of the reasons why, oh my susannah

It ain't safe to stay here any more
Got to load the wagon and head up north.
And rearrange their reasons in our minds
Keeping safe a way in the present times.
Keeping safe a way in the present times.

Susannah there was peace between
Our fathers
How we ceased to be a bother
We could run together in the morning light
And separate until the cool of night
Oh my susannah, for me there ain't no other
I swear, i swear there ain't no other.
That won't stop the lightening in the sky
And as the rains run red,
One of the reasons why . . oh yeah you're
The light in the southern sky, susannah
