Oh! Susannah

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana, my Susanna 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 had a dream the other night when everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna dear a-coming down the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye
I says, "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

Oh, Susanna, oh, don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
