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
