[Verse 1] Suzanne was the 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 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 them 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? [Verse 3] This girl she 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 [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?
