Suzanne was the jewel keeper In a word she stole all the jewels And she
took them to a foreign land Which was strictly against all the rules And
she wore them all proudly Like a tiara crown on her head She slept with
them at night Suzanne and the jewels in a bed
CHORUS: Suzanne and
her jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at
night When they take that crown from your head?
Suzanne lived down by
the river The fountain of youth did flow And she played on a steel
guitar And the drifters did come and they'd go And she'd put on her
crown And she'd sing them a song And some drifters would stay here the
night But they never did stay long
CHORUS: Suzanne and her
jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at
night When they take that crown from your head?
This girl flew on the
wind She wrote her own name in the stars Just goes to show sometimes you
win No matter how crazy you are But a thief can come knocking Even
with blood on the door And drink up your fountain of youth And throw your
jewels and your crown on the floor
CHORUS: Suzanne and her
jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at
night When they take that crown from your head?
Suzanne and her
jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at
night When they take that crown off your head?
