Who Done It? (Taken from Burl Ives' Nashville Years 5-CD set)

Down in Georgia where I used to live
Just outside Savannah
'Twas there that I loved and I lost my girl
Somebody stole Susannah

Who done it?
Who done it?
Nobody knows who done it
Who done it?
Who done it?
Nobody knows who done it

She left my ring just a laying there
Not even an explanation
Somebody said that her and a man
Was seen at the railway station

Who done it?
Who done it?
Nobody knows who done it
Who done it?
Who done it?
Nobody knows who done it

A man and a woman they say was found
In a Miam-uh* beach cabana
It seems somebody had shot them down
The woman was named Susannah

Who done it?
Who done it?
Nobody knows who done it
Who done it?
Who done it?
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!)
Nobody knooooows who done it!

*(This is "Miami" with a southern accent, like the ending of the word "Alabama".)

AMG attributes WHO DONE IT to "Hart/Howard". According to BMI, that would be Freddie Hart and Harlan Howard.
