Mac Wiseman - On Susans Floor

      C
Didn't feel so cold and tired,stretched out before her fire,
                                   G7
Rollin' smokes and drinkin' up her wine;
          C       F
And I re- -member candle-(C-light and singin' songs,
                      G7
Till we could sing no more,
                                    C
Then fallin' fast asleep on Susan's floor.

            F       C
Now that my song is sweeter,
         F    C
Lord I'd like to greet her;
                           F    C   G7
To thank her for the favor that she gave,
  F          C                               F  C
A stranger I came, my head bowed in the rain to her
G7
door.
                                   C
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor.
             F           C          F            C
In the morn- -ing I'd go on leaving Susan and my songs,
                              G7
Knowing I'd be back in just a while,
                               C
Healing in the sunshine of her smile.

              F        C
Well, lots of time and songs have passed,
            F          C
I catch my- -self just looking back;
                                 G7
Reliving all the wonder of those nights;
       F             C
That's where I would be to-day,
                     F   C     G7
If I had only stayed one night more,
                                 C
And sang another song on Susan's floor.
     F                   C
Like crippled ships that make it through a storm,
                          G7
And finally reach a quiet shore,
                                     C
The hopeless found a home on Susan's floor.
