Suzanne And The Jewels Lyrics - John Mellencamp

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.

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 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. 

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?
