Lyrics
I left my home on Ariel
An autoharp on my knee
I boarded a ship to Shadow
My true love for the sea.
We burned real hard
For three whole weeks
Our boredom ne'er drawing nigh
Just the cold steel of a Firefly
Susanna, don't you cry.
O Susanna, don't you cry for me.
I left my home on Ariel, an autoharp on my knee
O Susanna, don't you cry for me.
I boarded a ship to Shadow My true love
For the sea.
I had a dream the other night
Some reavers they came on board
I thought I saw Susanna
Staring down that bloody horde
She loaded up a shotgun
Well those bullets never ran dry
The reavers, they hit the ground
And Susanna, pulled me to her thigh.
O Susanna, don't you cry for me.
I left my home on Ariel, an autoharp on my knee
O Susanna, don't you cry for me.
I boarded a ship to Shadow My true love
For the sea.
I soon will be on Shadow.
I'll look in an old Saloon
If she's not there, I'll search the 'verse
Comb every bloody moon.
And if I do not find her
Well, I'm sure I'll up'n'die
And when I'm dead and buried
O Susanna, don't you cry.
O Susanna, don't you cry for me.
I left my home on Ariel, an autoharp on my knee
O Susanna, don't you cry for me.
I boarded a ship to Shadow My true love
For the sea.
