OH SUSANNA

FOLKLORE

Key:

I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,

I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for t o 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 yo u cry.

Oh, Susanna, don't you cry fo r 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 up th e hill,

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye,

I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't yo u cry.

Oh, Susanna, don't you cry fo r me

For I come from Alabama,

with my banjo on my knee.

I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around

And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon th e ground.

But if I do not find her, this darkey'll surely die,

and when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't yo u cry.

Oh, Susanna, don't you cry fo r me

For I come from Alabama,

with my banjo on my knee.
