About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Suzanne was the jewel keeper In a word she stole all the jewels And she took 'em to a foreign land Which was strictly against all the rules And she wore 'em all proudly Like a tiara crown on her head And she slept with them at night Suzanne and the jewels in a bed [Chorus] Suzanne and her jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? [Verse 2] Suzanne lived down by the river The fountain of youth did flow And she played on a steel guitar And the drifters did come and they'd go And she'd put on her crown And she'd sing 'em a song And some drifters would stay here the night But they never did stay long [Chorus] Suzanne and her jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] This girl flew on the wind She wrote her own name in the stars Just goes to show sometimes you win No matter how crazy you are But a thief can come knockin' Even with blood on the door And drink up your fountain of youth And throw your jewels and your crown on the floor [Chorus] Suzanne and her jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? Suzanne and her jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown off your head? [Outro] The number you have reached has been disconnected No further information is available
