Oh Susanna

1 5

I come from Alabama with my banjo my knee

1 5 1

I’m goin’ to Louisiana my true love for to see

It did rain all night the day I left

The weather was bone dry

The sun was so hot I froze myself

Susanna don’t you cry

4 1 5

Oh Susannah don’t you cry for me

1 5 1

I’ve 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 o’r the hill

The buckwheat cakes was in her mouth

And the tears was in her eyes

said I’m a-coming from the South

Susanna don’t you cry

I think I’ll go to New Orleans

And then I’ll look around

And when I find Susanna

I’m gonna fall up on the ground

But if I do not find her

I know I’ll surely die

And when I’m dead and buried

Susanna don’t you cry
