Somebody killed Little SusieThe girl with the tuneWho sings in the daytime at noonShe was there screamingBeating her voice in her doomBut nobody came to her soonA fall down the stairsHer dress tornOh, the blood in her hairA mystery so sullen in airShe lie there so tenderlyFashioned so slenderlyLift her with careOh, the blood in her hairEveryone came to seeThe girl that now is deadSo blind stare the eyes in her headAnd suddenly a voice from the crowd saidThis girl lived in vainHer face bear such agony, such strainBut only the man from next doorKnew Little Susie, now he criedAs he reached downTo close Susie's eyesShe lie there so tenderlyFashioned so slenderlyLift her with careOh, the blood in her hairIt was all for God’s sakeFor her singing the tuneFor someone to feel her dispairTo be damned to know hoping is deadAnd you’re doomedThen to scream outAnd nobody’s thereShe knew no one caredFather left homePoor mother diedLeaving Susie aloneGrandfather’s soul too had flownNo one to careJust to love herHow much can one bearNeglecting the needs in her prayersNeglection can killLike a knife in your soulOh, it willLittle Susie fought so hard to liveShe lie there so tenderlyFashioned so slenderlyLift her with careSo young and so fair
