Oh Susanna
Stephen Foster

I learned this song as a young lad, from the Fred Kirby show...

Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to Lou'siana 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 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 dear a coming down the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
Said I, "I'm coming from the south
Susanna don't you cry"

Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

I soon will be in New Orleans, then I'll look all 'round
And when I find Susanna, I'll fall upon the ground

Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
