Oh Susanna

I come from
Alabama with my banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to
Louisiana my own true love for to see
It rained all night the day
I left, the weather was bone dry
And the sun so hot
I froze to death,
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from
Alabama with my banjo on my knee
Well, I had a dream the other night when everything was still
I dreamed
I saw Susanna comin' down the hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye
Said I'm comin' from the south,
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from
Alabama with my banjo on my knee
Well, I soon will be in
New Orleans and when
I do arrive
I'll go and find
Susanna if she is still alive
And if I do not find that girl
I will surely die
But when I'm buried in my grave,
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from
Alabama with my banjo on my knee
