Suzanne was a jewel keeper   In a word she stole all the jewels   And she took them to a foreign land   Which was strictly against all the rules      And she wore them all proudly   Like a tiara crown on her head   And she slept with them at night   Suzanne and the jewels in a bed      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 lived down by the river   The fountain of youth did flow   And she played on a steel guitar   And the drifters, they'd come and they'd go      And she'd put on her crown   And she'd sing them a song   And some drifters would stay here the night   But they never did stay long      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?      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 knocking   Even with blood on the door   And drink up your fountain of youth   And throw your jewels and your crown on the floor      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?
