Don't Cry, Suzanne (1962)
|
|
CHORUS: Goodbye, Suzanne. Don't cry Suzanne, though I'm gone away.
|
Yesterday was Sunday. Monday is today. [or "Monday is the day"?]
|
I hear the bugle blowin', callin' ev'ry man.
|
I'll be home by early spring. Don't cry, Suzanne.
|
|
1. You cannot come along, my love, to hear the cannons roar.
|
Your eyes are too gentle for to see the shame of war.
|
Some will be a-dyin' before the battle's through.
|
Some will be a-cryin', as I will be for you.
|
|
2. My love for you is stronger than the cannon or the drum.
|
My love for you is longer than the rollin' of the sun.
|
When brooks are overflowin' I'll be hitchin' up the plow.
|
I'll be back in time for autumn, but I must leave you now.
