2nd South Carolina String Band - Oh! Susanna lyrics

Artist: 2nd South Carolina String Band

album: Hard Road


Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
And I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
Well it rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
And the sun so hot, I froze to death, Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
When I jumped aboard the telegraph and traveled down the river
The electric fluid magnified and killed five hundred chigger
When the bullgine bust, the horse ran off, I really thought I'd die
So I shut my eyes to hold my breath, Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
Now I had a dream the other night when everything was still
And I thought I saw Susanna she was coming down the hill
Now the buckwheat cake was in her mouth and the tear was in her eye
So I said "I'm coming from the south, Susanna, don't you cry"
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

Now I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look around
When at last I find Susanna, I will fall upon the ground
But if I can't ever find her, then I think I'll surely die
When I'm dead, and gone, and buried - Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
