If you think this place paradise
You should have seen Colorado
They got me running like a desperado for long years
If you really want to feel my love
Don't abandon all your senses
Break by that defense and come with me
For I can never go back home
Come join me my dear
May the earth steady and rise to meet you
Come join me my dear
Cross Savannah, and Alabama, oh Susanna
Meet me in the Louisiana at half past three
Come see the wild
See the unknown stretch on for miles
I'm calling out your name can you hear me
Fear not a thing around
And let your walls come tumbling down
A wide open world is what awaits
Take the chance
The open prairie is fit for fine dance
I long to see you come through those gates
But I can never go back home
Come join me my dear
May the earth steady and rise to meet you
Come join me my dear
Susanna will me be with me
If you have mercy Mississippi
Open your mouth Gulf Stream and drink it down
But my heart stopped drumming
When I learned she wasn't coming
A fever came and took my love away
Susanna oh Susanna,
You will always be remembered
I think of you when I see embers dance and glow
For I can never go back home
I'm sorry for you my dear
May the earth keep and cherish you
I'm sorry for you my dear
Oh Susanna, you I could not save
Yonder will sit my unnamed grave
And the birds will come
And crow upon my headstone
Singing, you can never go back home
