Oh, Susanna lyrics
Oh, I come from Alabam With my banjo on my knee I'm going to Louisian 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 Susann', don't you cry Oh, Susann Don't you cry for me For I come from Alabam With my banjo on my knee Oh, Susann Don't you cry for me For I come from Alabam With my banjo on my knee I had a dream the other night When everything was still I thought I saw Susann Coming down the hill A buckwheat cake was in her mouth A tear was in her eye I said, I'm coming from Dixieland Susann', don't you cry Oh, Susann Don't you cry for me For I come from Alabam With my banjo on my knee Oh, Susann Don't you cry for me For I come from Alabam With my banjo on my knee I soon will be in New Orleans And then I'll look around And when I find my gal Susann I'll fall upon the ground But if I don't find her This man'll surely die And when I'm dead and buried Susann', don't you cry Oh, Susann Don't you cry for me For I come from Alabam With my banjo on my knee Oh, Susann Don't you cry for me For I come from Alabam With my banjo on my knee I had a dream the other night When everything was still I thought I saw Susann Coming up the hill A buckwheat cake was in her mouth A tear was in her eye I said, I'm coming from Dixieland Susann', don't you cry Oh, Susann Don't you cry for me For I come from Alabam With my banjo on my knee Oh, Susann Don't you cry for me For I come from Alabam With my banjo on my knee
