| Susannah there was peace between | |
| Our fathers | |
| How we ceased lo be a bother | |
| We would run together in the morning light | |
| And separate until the cool of night | |
| Oh my susannah | |
| We can throw our dreams together | |
| Though my other wing of feather | |
| How can you stop the lightening, | |
| In the sky and as the rains run red | |
| One of the reasons why, oh my susannah | |
| It ain't safe to stay here any more | |
| Got to load the wagon and head up north. | |
| And rearrange their reasons in our minds | |
| Keeping safe a way in the present times. | |
| Keeping safe a way in the present times. | |
| Susannah there was peace between | |
| Our fathers | |
| How we ceased to be a bother | |
| We could run together in the morning light | |
| And separate until the cool of night | |
| Oh my susannah, for me there ain't no other | |
| I swear, i swear there ain't no other. | |
| That won't stop the lightening in the sky | |
| And as the rains run red, | |
| One of the reasons why . . oh yeah you're | |
| The light in the southern sky, susannah |
