I stood a-watchin' all night long

I stood a-watchin' all night long

I stood a-watchin' till you went away

You were a girl of many charms

Oh, how I loved you in my arms

I never thought that you would ever go

'cause I loved you so CHORUS

Oh, uh, Susie darlin'

I thought you knew

You were all the world to me All my dreams come true

I stood a-cryin' all night long

I stood a-cryin' all night long

Cryin' wishin' you’d come back to me-ee

Thinking of all the dreams we knew

Now that you’re gone they won’t come true

My heart is empty without you

Nothin' there but misery
