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
