John Mellencamp Suzanne And The Jewels Lyrics

Suzanne And The Jewels Lyrics

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?
