eng eng……lalala……[00:02:04]
somebody killed little susie[00:02:56]
the girl with the tune[00:03:00]
who sings in the daytime at noon[00:03:02]
she was there screaming[00:03:07]
beating her voice in her doom[00:03:09]
but nobody came to her soon...[00:03:13]
a fall down the stairs[00:03:17]
her dress torn[00:03:19]
oh the blood in her hair...[00:03:22]
a mystery so sullen in air[00:03:24]
she lie there so tenderly[00:03:27]
fashioned so slenderly[00:03:30]
lift her with care,[00:03:33]
oh the blood in her hair...[00:03:35]
everyone came to see[00:03:43]
the girl that now is dead[00:03:46]
so blind stare the eyes in her head...[00:03:49]
and suddenly a voice from the crowd said[00:03:52]
this girl lived in vain[00:03:57]
her face bear such agony, such strain...[00:03:59]
but only the man from next door[00:04:04]
knew little susie and how he cried[00:04:07]
as he reached down[00:04:09]
to close susie’s eyes...[00:04:11]
she lie there so tenderly[00:04:14]
fashioned so slenderly[00:04:17]
lift her with care[00:04:20]
oh the blood in her hair...[00:04:22]
it was all for god’s sake[00:04:29]
for her singing the tune[00:04:31]
for someone to feel her despair[00:04:34]
to be damned to know hoping is dead and you’re doomed[00:04:39]
then to scream out[00:04:45]
and nobody’s there...[00:04:46]
she knew no one cared...[00:04:53]
father left home, poor mother died[00:04:57]
leaving susie alone[00:05:01]
grandfather’s soul too had flown...[00:05:04]
no one to care[00:05:07]
just to love her[00:05:10]
how much can one bear[00:05:11]
rejecting the needs in her prayers...[00:05:14]
neglection can kill[00:05:18]
like a knife in your soul[00:05:21]
oh it will[00:05:23]
little susie fought so hard to live...[00:05:25]
she lie there so tenderly[00:05:29]
fashioned so slenderly[00:05:31]
lift her with care[00:05:34]
so young and so fair[00:05:36]
