The Ballad of Susie Little
(Harry Head)
Do you wanna hear the truth?
Then listen closely to what I say
Susie Little stood alone
Still a child in many ways
Accused of stealing gold
From the master's chamber late one night
Lord Bellingham was called
To stand in judgement on Susie's plight
Chorus
Back in 1641
A chamber maid she had become
At her trial she stood tall
Told the truth to one and all
Now Susie prey do tell
Of where you were that night and what you know
Lord Bellingham I swear
I never stole one coin from you
But the thief is close at hand
It is your son young Bellingham
As for where I slept that night
With you my lord right by my side
Repeat Chorus
As for what you stole from me
My innocence and dignity
Now this house I have to leave
To find a home for my child and me
Repeat Chorus
