Suzanne (Every Night When the Sun Goes Down) Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

Every night when the sun goes down
Every night when the sun goes down
Every night when the sun goes down
Hang my head and mournful cry

Suzanne
Suzanne
Suzanne, you′re gone

True love don't weep, true love don′t mourn
True love don't weep, true love don't mourn
True love don′t weep or mourn for me
Goin′ back to Mobile town

Someday I pray my train will come
Someday I pray my train will come
Someday I pray my train will come
Then I can go back where I come from

Suzanne
Suzanne
Suzanne, you're gone


Every night when the sun goes down
Every night when the sun goes down
Every night when the sun goes down
Hang my head and mournful cry

Suzanne
Suzanne
Suzanne, you′re gone

Thank you very much
This evening, there is quite a program in store for you
What with the Chad Mitchell Trio
Odetta and Miss Miriam Makeba and the Folk Singers
They're going to be here for quite awhile
And earlier today, during rehearsals
We had decided we better put all of the more strenuous pieces up front
So that after we have keeled over from exhaustion
There would not be any great effort needed for the end of the program


Consequently, this next song that we are about to do is
The most difficult song that we have on the program this evening
Uh, unlike the traditional folk music, which most of the evening will reflect
This song was written by, uh, Langston Hughes
And, uh, we had a much larger choir to start with
There were some 40 memebers
But, uh, during the rehearsal period, so strenuous was this piece
That most of the men had to take off because of laryngitis

Uh, uh, enough said about that because if I talk too long
I won′t have the energy to sing the song
Uh, I would like to say just one other thing in passing, however
And that was that uh, that is uh, rather that...
