Oh Susannah

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

Well, I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
And I'm bound for 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
Well, I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

I sing all day in New Orleans and then I look around
And when I find Susanna I fall upon the ground
But if I do not find her this man will surly die
So when I'm dead and buried now
Susanna don't you cry

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