Oh! Susanna

I came 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 I left, the weather it was dry

The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna don't you cry

Oh, Susanna oh don't you cry for me

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 a-comin' down the hill

A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye

Says, "I am coming from the south, Susanna don't you cry"

Oh, Susanna oh don't you cry for me

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 Susanna I'll fall upon the ground

If I do not find her this man I surely die

And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry

Oh, Susanna oh don't you cry for me

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
