Oh Susanna

igor

Well, I [C] come from Alabama with my banjo on my [G] knee.   And I’m [C] bound for Louisiana, oh my own [G] true love for to [C] see.   It [C] rained all night the day I left.  The weather it was [G] dry.   The [C] sun so hot – I froze to death – Susanna, [G] don’t you [C] cry

{ CHORUS } – – – [F] oh, Susannah.  Now, [C] don’t you cry for [G] me
I [C] come from Alabama with a [G] banjo on my [C] knee

Well, I [C] had myself a dream the other night, when everything was [G] still.   I [C] dreamed that I saw Susannah girl.  [G] A-coming around the [C] hill.    A [C] buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her [G] eye.    I [C] said, I come from Dixie land – Susannah, [G] don’t you[C]  cry

{ CHORUS }

I’m [C] comin down to New Orleans,and then I’ll look [G] around,   and [C] when I find Susannah girl, [G] I’ll fall down to the [C] ground.    and [C] if I do not find her there, Alas, I’ll surely [G] die, and [C] when I’m dead and buried there, ⁠Susannah, [G] don’t you [C] cry.

{ CHORUS }

|301. OH, SUSANNA 1848 |
I’VE COME FROM ALABAMA
WITH MY BANJO ON MY KNEE.
I’M GOING TO LOUISIANA
MY TRUE LOVE FOR TO SEE.

THE SUN SO HOT I FROZE TO DEATH,
SUSANNA DON’T YOU CRY.

I’VE COME FROM ALABAMA
WITH MY BANJO ON MY KNEE.
