[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
A fall down the stairs
~#**************#~
Her dress torn
~#**************#~
Oh, the blood in her hair
~#**************#~
A mystery so sullen in air
~#**************#~
She lie there so tenderly
~#**************#~
Fashioned so slenderly
~#**************#~
Lift her with care
~#**************#~
Oh, the blood in her hair
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
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 bear such agony, such strain
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
But only the man from next door
~#**************#~
Knew little Susie and how he cried
~#**************#~
As he reached down
~#**************#~
To close Susies eyes
~#**************#~
She lie there so tenderly
~#**************#~
Fashioned so slenderly
~#**************#~
Lift her with care
~#**************#~
Oh, the blood in her hair
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
It was all for Gods sake
~#**************#~
For her singing the tune
~#**************#~
For someone to feel her despair
~#**************#~
To be damned to know hoping is dead and youre doomed
~#**************#~
Then to scream out
~#**************#~
And nobodys there
~#**************#~
She knew no one cared
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Father left home, poor mother died
~#**************#~
Leaving Susie alone
~#**************#~
Grandfathers soul too had flown
~#**************#~
No one to care
~#**************#~
Just to love her
~#**************#~
How much can one bear
~#**************#~
Neglecting the needs in her prayers
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
