Poco Susannah

Susannah, there was peace between our fathers

How we ceased to 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 a feather

How do 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

In the present times

Susannah, there was peace between our fathers

How we ceased to be a bother

We would 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
