Billy Lyrics - Singles - Oh Susanna

Billy came from the east 

You came from the sea 

Came with a heart full of hope 

And a head full of dreams 

I danced in your arms 

And then in your arms I did sleep 

And you promised me 

Never would I ever weep 

Wake up, Billy my love 

I'm goin' away 

I can't stand to see you 

Dyin' this way 

Your dreams aren't your own, now 

They belong to the habit you keep 

They belong to the needle 

The serum, the sleep 

Billy, a letter that came 

Said you passed away 

Arms so shot full of holes 

No life they could hold 

I'll cut off your limbs 

And bury your body at sea 

And leave your arms on the shore 

For the buzzards to eat 

Billy, you came from the east 

You came from the sea 

Came with a heart full of hope 

And a head full of dreams 

Go rest in peace, now 

On the bed of the ocean you'll sleep 

And you never will wake 

And forever I'll weep
