Oh Susannah Lyrics

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

Oh! Susanna,
Now 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 thought I saw Susanna dear,
Oh baby coming down the hill,
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth,
A tear was in her eye,
Said I, I'm coming from the south,
Susanna don't you cry.

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

Well I am going down to New Orleans,
And then I'll take a look around,
And when I find Susanna,
I'm gonna fall upon the ground,
But if I do not find her,
My man surely die,
And when I'm dead and buried,
Susanna don't you cry.

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

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