Well, I [C] come from Alabama with my banjo on my [G] knee. And I’m [C] bound for Louisiana, oh my own [G] true love for to [C] see. It [C] rained all night the day I left. The weather it was [G] dry. The [C] sun so hot – I froze to death – Susanna, [G] don’t you [C] cry
[ CHORUS ] – – – [F] oh, Susannah. Now, [C] don’t you cry for [G] me
I [C] come from Alabama with a [G] banjo on my [C] knee
Well, I [C] had myself a dream the other night, when everything was [G] still. I [C] dreamed that I saw Susannah girl. [G] A-coming around the [C] hill. A [C] buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her [G] eye. I [C] said, I come from Dixie land – Susannah, [G] don’t you[C] cry
[ CHORUS ]
I’m [C] comin down to New Orleans,and then I’ll look [G] around, and [C] when I find Susannah girl, [G] I’ll fall down to the [C] ground. and [C] if I do not find her there, Alas, I’ll surely [G] die, and [C] when I’m dead and buried there, Susannah, [G] don’t you [C] cry.
[ CHORUS ]
|301. OH, SUSANNA 1848 |
I’VE COME FROM ALABAMA
WITH MY BANJO ON MY KNEE.
I’M GOING 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, DON’T YOU CRY FOR ME .
I’VE COME FROM ALABAMA
WITH MY BANJO ON MY KNEE.
