[02:56.800]Somebody killed little Susie
[03:00.480]The girl with the tune
[03:02.880]Who sings in the daytime at noon
[03:07.080]She was there screaming
[03:09.570]Beating her voice in her doom
[03:13.800]But nobody came to her soon...
[03:17.380]A fall down the stairs
[03:19.870]Her dress torn
[03:22.770]Oh the blood in her hair...
[03:24.590]A mystery so sullen in air
[03:27.880]She lie there so tenderly
[03:30.690]Fashioned so slenderly
[03:33.450]Lift her with care,
[03:35.720]Oh the blood in her hair...
[03:43.160]Everyone came to see
[03:46.880]The girl that now is dead
[03:49.410]So blind stare the eyes in her head...
[03:52.990]And suddenly a voice from the crowd said
[03:57.960]This girl lived in vain
[03:59.870]Her face bear such agony, such strain...
[04:04.130]But only the man from next door
[04:07.300]Knew Little Susie and how he cried
[04:09.210]As he reached down
[04:11.690]To close Susie’s eyes...
[04:14.630]She lie there so tenderly
[04:17.120]Fashioned so slenderly
[04:20.050]Lift her with care
[04:22.730]Oh the blood in her hair...
[04:29.120]It was all for God’s sake
[04:31.520]For her singing the tune
[04:34.640]For someone to feel her despair
[04:39.850]To be damned to know hoping is dead and you’re doomed
[04:45.180]Then to scream out
[04:46.960]And nobody’s there...
[04:53.610]She knew no one cared...
[04:57.690]Father left home, poor mother died
[05:01.310]Leaving Susie alone
[05:04.180]Grandfather’s soul too had flown...
[05:07.760]No one to care
[05:10.540]Just to love her
[05:11.770]How much can one bear
[05:14.720]Rejecting the needs in her prayers...
[05:18.700]Neglection can kill
[05:21.100]Like a knife in your soul
[05:23.360]Oh it will
[05:25.200]Little Susie fought so hard to live...
[05:29.150]She lie there so tenderly
[05:31.620]Fashioned so slenderly
[05:34.560]Lift her with care
[05:36.880]So young and so fair
