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 |
Susannah, don’t you cry. |
Oh, Susannah, |
Oh don’t you cry for me |
For I come from Alabama |
With a banjo on my knee. |
I had a dream the other night |
When everything was still |
I dreamed I saw Susannah dear |
A-coming down the hill. |
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth |
The tear was in her eye |
Says I, «I'm coming from the south, |
Susannah, don’t you cry.» |
Oh, Susannah, |
Oh don’t you cry for me |
For I come from Alabama |
With a banjo on my knee. |
I come from A-la-ba-ma |
With a ban-jo on my knee, |
I’m going to Lou-i-siana, |
My true love for to see. |
Oh, Su-san-nah, oh, |
Don’t you cry for me, |
For I come from A-la-ba-ma |
With a ban-jo on my knee. |
