Black Eyed Suzy she works the corner
out on the block on which she was raised
and I don't how but she finds some comfort
up amongst the rubble and the Queen Ann's Lace
but nobody seemed to notice her beauty wither away
oh Black Eyed Suzy girl how much more can you take
we were lovers back when we were younger but
we all know how that can go
it's like one day it's roses and the next it's over and
nobody asks cause ain't nobody wants to know
as soon as find a place far away from this dirty heap
oh Black Eyed Suzy she's still losing ground to the heat
well now some may give into the wind
they'll take a flight just to forget the pain
ah but Suzy she's dug in too deep
she knows she's been beat
but still she stands around and waits
ah but
as soon the season change it will bring the winter wind
Suzy she'll try to fight it
it won't be long before the cold embrace
of a long November will decide it
what am I to do
ah what am I to say
I just watched from a distance as Suzy withers away
