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
