Come and sit beside me, little
Susie, 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, many the night and day
I have courted you, little
Susie, many a day and night
But now my time is gone and
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'?
Pennsylvania, on which I'm
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
Down where the willow cries
Cause I've got something to tell you
