Oh Susannah Lyrics

Oh Susannah lyrics

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
