Miss susanna please
pardon me for asking
but what was it you called me for?
In a room removed
master would not approve
of you and i behind closed doors
not at all
it isn't right at all

Miss susanna please
whatever are you saying?
It frightens me to stand so near
surely you must see
what will become of me
the moment that the master hears
what we've done
he wouldn't like it none

Much as i desire thee
oh, lady, this isn't the place for me
if the word gets out
there will be no doubt
they will hang me high
in the moonless sky

Miss susanna please
think of what you're saying
seeing you this way
i feel i must obey
no matter what becomes of me
right or wrong
iõm just not'n ot thet strong

Much as she desires me
salvation is keeping my lady pleased
if the word gets out
there will be no doubt
they will hang me high
in the moonless sky
