Oh! Susanna

Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
 And I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
 Well it rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
 And the sun so hot, I froze to death, Susanna, don't you cry
 Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
 For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
 When I jumped aboard the telegraph and traveled down the river
 The electric fluid magnified and killed five hundred chigger
 When the bullgine bust, the horse ran off, I really thought I'd die
 So I shut my eyes to hold my breath, Susanna, don't you cry
 Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
 For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
 Now I had a dream the other night when everything was still
 And I thought I saw Susanna she was coming down the hill
 Now the buckwheat cake was in her mouth and the tear was in her eye
 So I said "I'm coming from the south, Susanna, don't you cry"
 Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
 For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
 ♪
 Now I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look around
 When at last I find Susanna, I will fall upon the ground
 But if I can't ever find her, then I think I'll surely die
 When I'm dead, and gone, and buried - Susanna, don't you cry
 Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
 For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
 Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
 For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
