Lyrics
- Red are your lips like the cherry
I love you forever, I’ll be ever true
Eyes that shine brightly and merry
Nought our love can sever, for I love but you
You’re like a sweet budding flower
By the Angels plucked from out Heaven’s own bower
And your love divine, will be ever mine, so I sing
Chorus
Oh Suzanna! Oh Suzanna!
Sweetest girl I ever knew
Without your love I should die
And I live but for you
Oh Suzanna! Oh Suzanna!
Your endearing charms enthrall
Of all the ladies fair
Beauties beyond compare
I love you best of all
- Give of your love in full measure
All my life’s endeavor, I lay at your feet
Love such as yours is a treasure
Were it mine forever, ‘twould be bliss indeed
Sad is my heart, oh so weary
When you are away all Creation seems dreary
But your smile divine, tells me you are mine, so I sing
