OH, SUSANNA

by Stephen Foster



I 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, oh don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee



I had a dream the other night when everything was still

I thought I saw Susanna a-coming down the hill

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth

The tear was in her eye

Says I, I'm coming from the south

Susanna, don't you cry
