Ben Kaimana Diamond / Son Stone

Lyrics

This song has zero social import
No one’s been beaten, no one’s repressed
No one’s been wronged and no one’s guilty
There ain’t nothin’ for nobody to confess

There’s no famine in this song, no one’s hungry
There’s no sinners that the saints need to come and bless
It’s just that folk songs help me say the things that matter
And I love it when you wear that country dress

Come to me, Suzanna, with that dress on
Come to me, Suzanna, with that gown
Come to me, Suzanna, come to me now
Suzanna, come to me and take me down

I’m not preaching ‘bout the value of the dollar
Or how the working man can barely fill his cart
I’m not pointing fingers anywhere at anyone
I’m not an actor up on stage playing some part

This song is not about our warming oceans
There’s no movement that I aim to start
I’m not singing ‘bout the fires in California
I’m just singing ‘bout the fire in my heart

Come to me, Suzanna, with that dress on
Come to me, Suzanna, with that gown
Come to me, Suzanna, come to me now
Suzanna, come to me and take me down

I’m not calling for y’all to march on Washington
I ain’t asking you to join me on some quest
I’m not here to tell you where to send your money
And I’m not telling you which candidate is best

But maybe there’s someone somewhere who’s lonely
And when he sees you walk away he gets depressed
So he wrote this ‘cause he knows that you love folk songs
And he loves it when you wear that country dress.

Come to me, Suzanna, with that dress on
Come to me, Suzanna, with that gown
Come to me, Suzanna, come to me now
Suzanna, come to me and take me down
Suzanna, come to me and take me down, down, down
Suzanna, come to me and take me down
