Oh, Susannah

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
