Oh, Susanna!

Oh, I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

And I'm goin' to Louisiana my true love for to see

Well, 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 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, "I'm comin' from the South, Susanna, don't you cry"

Oh, Susanna, oh, don't you cry for me

For I'm goin' to Louisiana with my banjo on my knee

Yeah, oh, Susanna, oh, don't you cry for me

For I'm goin' to Louisiana with my banjo on my knee
