oh susana

I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee I'm going 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 For I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee I jump'd aboard the telegraph And trabbled down de ribber De lectrick fluid magnified And kill'd five hundred Nigga De bulgine bust and de hoss ran off I really thought I'd die I shut my eyes to hold my bref Susanna don't you cry Oh, Susanna Oh don't you cry for me For 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-coming down the hill The buckwheat cake Was in her mouth The tear was In her eye Says I, I'm coming from the south Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna Oh don't you cry for me For 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 But if I do not find her This darkey'l surely die And when I'm dead and buried Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee Oh, Susanna Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee
