Oh, Susannah

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I said, oh, Susannah, now You don't you cry for me As I come from Alabama With this banjo on my knee [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus]
