Stephen Foster - Oh! Susanna lyrics

Oh I come from Alabama With a 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 myself 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 Coming down the hill The buckwheat cake was in her mouth The tear was in her eye I said I'm coming from the South 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 Oh I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look around And when I find my Susanna, I'll fall upon the ground But if I do not find her, this man will surely die And when I'm dead and buried, 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 (x2)
