Suzanne was a gal
I cert'nly did admire.
She was de one
dat set my heart on fire,
wid dat never dyin' love,
It must a come from above
so I'se done flung
aside all others,
had a long talk
wid bofe our mothers
jes sent Sue a special letter,
'cos long as I live
I can't do no better.

So when you hear
dem church bells ringin'
when you hear sweet voices singin'
den you'll know
dat's de beginnin'
of a brand new worl' for me;
I'll love her in the spring
in summer, in fact de whole year thro'
for she's done won my heart and hand,
Sweet Suzanne.

When you hear
dem church bells ringin'
when you hear sweet voices singin'
den you'll know
dat's de beginnin'
of a brand new worl' for me;
I'll love her in the spring
in summer, in fact de whole year thro'
for she's done won my heart and hand,
Sweet Suzanne.

When de know an tied
dat surely makes us one,
I takes de vow dat her will's to be done,
den we'll cuddle up and spoon,
all through our honeymoon.
I 'specs to be a firstclass wooer,
work for Sue and ne'er try to do her,
'cos I wants her,
wants her only,
when I'm 'way from her
I'se always lonely.

So when you hear
dem church bells ringin'
when you hear sweet voices singin'
den you'll know
dat's de beginnin'
of a brand new worl' for me;
I'll love her in the spring
in summer, in fact de whole year thro'
for she's done won my heart and hand,
Sweet Suzanne.

When you hear
dem church bells ringin'
when you hear sweet voices singin'
den you'll know
dat's de beginnin'
of a brand new worl' for me;
I'll love her in the spring
in summer, in fact de whole year thro'
for she's done won my heart and hand,
Sweet Suzanne.
