Oh susianna
Don’t mean to cause you pain
You know I love you honey
But your face would stop a train

We was comin outta denver
The weather bein’ fine
Goin’ to kansas city
On that rock island line

Ninety miles o’ grade ahead
We heard the brakes go out
Some of the boys began to pray
But I began to shout

Oh susianna
Don’t mean to cause you pain
You know I love you honey
But your face would stop a train

We was drillin’ down in texas
And the hole began to choke
Yeah we lost the bit in bedrock
And the boss was goin’ broke

Foreman called for susianna
Give her a shot of gin
Shoved her headfirst down the hole
And brought that gusher in

Oh susianna
Don’t mean to cause you pain
You know I love you honey
But your face would stop a train

Now the good ship oleander
Was sound as she could be
Till the day they found her at
The bottom of the sea

Well some say it was an iceberg
But I know it ain’t the case
It was good oh susianna
And her ship sinkin’ face

Oh susianna
Don’t mean to cause you pain
You know I love you honey
But your face would stop a train

Did you hear about susianna
She was in a terrible wreck
Yeah a big truck hit her head on
And durn near broke her neck

Well they worked all day
They worked all night
They finally got her free
And now she’s wearin’ tread marks
Where her dimples used to be

Well it’s heartache and hard ache and hard (man yes)
To love one who looks the way you do (hard looker)
Heartache and hard ache and hard (susianna)
Meanest lookin’ gal I ever knew
Susianna
