Oh, Susannah

Well i come from alabama with my banjo on my knee

And i'm bound for louisiana, my own true love for to see

It did rain all night the day i left

The weather was bone dry

The sun was so hot i froze myself

Suzanne, don't you go on and cry



I said, oh, suzannah

Now, don't you cry for me

As i come from alabama with this banjo on my knee



Well i had myself a dream the other night

When everything was still

I dreamed that i saw my girl suzanne

She was coming around the hill

Now, the buckwheat cake was in her mouth

A tear was in her eye

I said, that i come from dixie land

Suzanne, don't you break down and cry



I said, oh, suzannah

Now, don't you cry for me

'cause i come from alabama with my banjo on my knee
