Verse:
A                       E
This old bus could drive itself along this highway
   D                    A
But this old guitar’ll need a tune before the show

It gets lonesome being out on the road

Oh Sis she done rosined up her bow

Sometimes a song is only good for crying
   Bm           D
When leaving’s a long way to go

Susanna don’t you cry babe

It won’t be long til I’m home

Susanna don’t you cry babe

It won’t be long til I’m gone

Townes is up there waiting up to greet us

With that mischief grin and mad dog margaritas
A   Bm               D
He needed you, but did he ever need us?

Don’t matter now, he’s got you, and I’m on my way

Gotta little luck left but ain’t for lack of trying
      Bm            D
Gotta get back to being in your arms again

Susanna don’t you cry babe
A             D
It won’t be long til I’m home
A            D
Susanna don’t you cry babe
A           D
It won’t be long til I’m gone
