Oh Susanna

Story Behind The Song

Wild West gunfight. Good verses evil. The story of a family of bank robbers and villains, in an old west saloon. The good guys ride into town and take out the family in a gunfight inside the saloon. The only person that wasn't shot in the end, was the piano player, who continued playing Oh Susanna on the piano as the good guys rode away.

Lyrics

Oh Susanna - Rob Redwine

Colt said the Good boys were coming to town,
So get off the street when you hear the gun sound,
Theyre looking for the Baxters in the old Crow Saloon,
Yeah the gunfight was coming at the strike of high noon,

Back in Montana
Saloon called the Crow
Playing Oh Susana
On an old piano
They came in shooting
Didnt ask for names
And the music still played when the boys rode away

They came through the swing doors that lead to the bar,
They emptied the barrels then loaded some more,
At the card table four reached for their Colts,
Yeah the gunshots were loud as a lightning bolt,

Back in Montana
Saloon called the Crow
Playing Oh Susana
On an old piano
They came in shooting
Didnt ask for names
And the music still played when the boys rode away

Oh Bad bart was bigger, and tougher than the rest,
But the boys shot him first and put two in his chest,
Then they shot Chisolm and four of his sons,
The only one left had no heels or a gun

The gunfight had ended, the bars flled with smoke,
And the only one left played the piano notes,
Some say they put up one hell of a fight,
For the difference between what is wrong and what's right,

Back in Montana
Saloon called the Crow
Playing Oh Susana
On an old piano
They came in shooting
Didnt ask for names
And the music still played when the boys rode away
