Oh! Susanna lyrics

I came to Alabamee with my banjo on my knee

I'm gwine 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've come from Alabamee with my banjo on my knee

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

I've come from Alabamee with my banjo on my knee

I jumped aboard the telegraph and trabbled down

the ribber

De lectric fluid magnified and killed five hundred nigger

De bullgine bust, the horse runs off, I really thought

I'd die

I shut my eyes to hold my breath - Susanna, don't

you cry

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

I've come from Alabamee with my banjo on my knee

(Oh! Susanna), oh don't you cry for me

I've come from Alabamee with my banjo on my knee

I had a dream de odder night, when everything

was still

I thought I saw Susanna comin' down the hill

The buckwheat cake war in her mouth, the tear was

in her eye

Says I, "I've coming from the South" - Susanna, don't

you cry

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

I've come from Alabamee 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 darkie'll surely die

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

you cry

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

I've come from Alabamee with my banjo on my knee

(Oh! Susanna), no don't you cry for me

'Cause I've come from Alabamee with my banjo on

my knee
