Susie’s Going Down

She became a woman of the world before she got outside of town

She gave the best years of her life to take $5.00 down

Some folks call her Susie and some just call her no good

But she ain’t the kind to change her ways, not even if she could

*Chorus:

And the sun’s coming up and she’s going down

Down to a high she’s never known

Dying to live where no one will give

In this world full of people, Susie’s all alone

She gets more love in just one night

Than some women get all their life

She’s needed as a woman, no one wants her for a wife

Don’t look at her too closely

What you see is what you’ll get

I took some pains to know the girl

It’ll take even more to forget

** Repeat Chorus
