Suzanna

I made this one from spare parts to honor veterans on the street who are too proud to ask for help. Tim O'Brien does a nice version on his Chicken and Egg album.

Hal, guitar, lead vocal; Kate, fiddle, vocal; Anke, vocal; Harold, bass

Dance all night with a bottle in my hand
Dance all night with a bottle in my hand
Stand on the corner shoutin’ at the man
Oh – oh- oh- oh, shoutin’ at the man.

Refrain
Oh Suzanna, don’t you cry for me, don’t you cry for me


Old wool coat, gettin’ heavy in the rain
Old wool coat, gettin’ heavy in the rain
Wet dog sniff me like I’m long lost kin
Oh – oh- oh- oh, like I’m long lost kin

Retrain 

Waitin’ for a bus, the bus don’t come
Waitin’ for a bus, the bus don’t come
Lone night, Street light, bus don’t run
Oh – oh- oh- oh, bus don’t run

Refrain 

Re-mote control in the hand of God
Re-mote control in the hand of God 
Gonna change the channel with his lightin’ rod
Oh – oh- oh- oh, with his lightnin’ rod.

Refrain 

 Fought in the War, I don’t know which
 Fought in the War, I don’t know which
 Wake up moanin’ in a sandy ditch
 Oh – oh- oh- oh- oh, in the son of a bitch

Refrain                                                            

Dance all night with a bottle in my hand
Dance all night with a bottle in my hand
Stand on the corner shoutin’ at the man
Oh – oh- oh- oh, shoutin’ at the man.
