Carly Simon Oh! Susanna Lyrics

Oh! Susanna Lyrics

I came from Alabama

Wid my banjo on my knee,

I’m g’wan to
Louisiana

My true love for to see,

It rain’d all night the day I
left,

The weather it was dry,

The sun so hot I frose to death;

Susanna, don't you cry.



Chorus:

Oh! Susanna, Oh! don't you
cry for me,

I’ve come from Alabama, wid my banjo on my knee. 



I jumped aboard de telegraph,

And trabbelled down de ribber,

De
Lectrie fluid magnified,

And killed five hundred Nigger

De bullgine
bust, de horse run off,

I realy thought I’d die;

I shut my eyes to
hold my breath,

Susanna, don't you cry.



Chorus: 



I had a dream de odder night

When ebery ting was still;

I thought
I saw Susanna,

A coming down de hill.

The buckwheat cake war in her
mouth,

The tear was in her eye,

Says I’m coming from de South,

Susanna, don't you cry.



Chorus: 



I scon will be in
New Orleans,

And den I’ll look all round,

And when I find
Susanna,

I’ fall upon the ground.

But if I do not find her,

Dis darkie ’I surely die,

And when I’m dead and buried,

Susanna,
don't you cry.
