Suzanne And The Jewels Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

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 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? 

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 

This girl flew on the wind 

She wrote her own name in the stars 

Just goes to show sometimes you win 

No matter ho 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
