Somebody killed Little Susie the girl with the tune
Who sings in the daytime at noon
She was there screaming beating her voice in her doom
But nobody came to her soon
A fall down the stairs
Her dress torn with blood in her hair
A mystery so sullen in air
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care
With the blood in her hair
Everyone came to see the girl that now is dead
So blind stare the eyes in her head
And suddenly a voice from the crowd said this girl lived in vain
Her face bare such agony, such strain
And only the man from next door knew little Susie and how he cried
As he reached down to close Susie's eyes
[Chorus]
It was all for God's sake for her singing the tune
For someone to fell her despair
To be damned to know hoping is dead and your'e doomed
Then to scream out and nobody's there...
She knew no one cared...
Father left home, poor mother died leaving Susie alone
Grandfather's soul too had flown
No one to care, just to love her
How much can one bare?
Neglecting the needs in her prayers
Neglection can kill, like a knife in your soul, oh it will
Little Susie fought so hard to live
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care
So young and so fair
