Oh Susanna

"Oh Susanna"

I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry.

Oh, Susanna, oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama,
With my banjo on my knee.

I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
I thought I saw Susanna coming down the hill,
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth,
A tear was in her eye.
I am comin' from the South!
Susanna don't you cry.

Oh, Susanna, oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama,
With my banjo on my knee.
