Susan’s Dream

Lyrics

[Chorus] Susan, she had a husband man to make a home for Made it shine because she loved him so Susan got lucky with the Lord and had some children Gave 'em all her heart to help 'em grow But now and then her man went drinkin' The kids got sick and cried 'til morn And now and then Susan, oh Susan Plumb got tired of home and livin' And began to wish she'd not been born Yes, she did She wished she'd not been born [Verse] And then one night she was all wearied out The kids had worn her ragged and her man was not about And she flopped on her knees by the side of her bed And she wiped her flaming eyes and looked up and said "Oh, God, let me sleep and when I sleep let me see A heavenly dream of the way life could be That's all that I want, so do that for me When I sleep let me dream of the way life should be" Then she got into bed and her achin' slipped away And soon she was asleep when she heard a voice say "Susan, oh Susan, I heard you pray Susan, oh Susan, you shall have your way There's good in your soul and so you shall see The dream that you want of the way life should be" [Chorus] And Susan then dreamed she had a man to make a home for Made it shine because she loved him so Susan, she dreamed she had a pair of angel children Gave 'em all her heart to help 'em grow And now and then her man went drinkin' The kids got sick and acted bad And suddenly Susan woke up And with a sob she started smilin' And she felt no longer blue and sad Susan dreamed exactly what she had
