down where the willow weeps.
Come and sit beside me, little Susie,
down where the willow cried.
Cause I've got something to tell you,
I have courted you, little Suzy,
I have courted you, little Susie,
I can feel the darkness coming
I can feel the darkness coming
And my dreams a falling down
I have watched love as it withered,
like leaves upon the ground.
I need I don't, need I don't.
Can't you hear that train a -comin',
Can't you hear the whistle wellin'?
Can't you hear that train a -comin',
Can't you hear the whistle cryin'?
It's that southbound Pennsylvania,
I know my death waits for me,
I know my death waits for me
But I'll drink and my glass is empty
Down where the willow weeps
Come and sit beside me, little Susie
Down where the willow cries
Cause I've got something to tell you
