lyrics
I wander in to your allegheny myth
bearing my god-given gifts
i know they don't amount to much
but it’s what I got to give
what can I do but show them off
to the birds and trees?
they won't laugh, they won't refuse the show
given simple and free
if I thought that you would read them seriously
I would write you letters in pentameter
and break my lines just how you taught me to, oh Susannah
break away from this Allegheny myth, oh Susannah
learn to sing for some one else, oh Susannah
while I find these buckwheat dreams in my daddy's drink
oh, Susannah, your lorelei won't let me be
but there’s one thing with you I still disagree:
I can wander, I can gallop through these trees
with this fiery, ornamental truth I sing
it’s just a poem, Susannah,
not quite a lie
a sunny way to go while we’re lost alike
bearing my god-given gifts
i know they don't amount to much
but it’s what I got to give
what can I do but show them off
to the birds and trees?
they won't laugh, they won't refuse the show
given simple and free
if I thought that you would read them seriously
I would write you letters in pentameter
and break my lines just how you taught me to, oh Susannah
break away from this Allegheny myth, oh Susannah
learn to sing for some one else, oh Susannah
while I find these buckwheat dreams in my daddy's drink
oh, Susannah, your lorelei won't let me be
but there’s one thing with you I still disagree:
I can wander, I can gallop through these trees
with this fiery, ornamental truth I sing
it’s just a poem, Susannah,
not quite a lie
a sunny way to go while we’re lost alike
