Suwannee Jo Lyrics by Paula Cole

Suwannee Jo Lyrics

    Idiot kitty to new york city
    Living in a kennel and lookin' big and pretty
    Meet the munch for business lunch
    But your feet bleed under the table

    But suwannee jo, you're dark and slow
    You dance with a broom and you're filled with ghosts
    You smell like liquor and you're high as a hawk
    You laugh to yourself but you talk like a rock

    Scaredy kate, back in the haight
    Doesn't answer the phone and eats like a tapeworm
    She met mr.mike in'89
    But she's a hundred pounds heavier and won't go outside

    But suwannee jo, you're dark and slow
    You dance with a broom and you're filled with ghosts
    Suwannee jo, strange beautiful gold,
    You can take a woman's husband
    But you don't want to marry him
    You just want to hold him

    Nora mable, behind your table
    Expensive knowledge from ten years of college
    But when it comes to livin', the book isn't written
    Your brain's under "m" in the library missing

    Suwannee jo, you follow your soul
    (nothing more important than following your soul)
