Oh Susanna - The Be Good Tanyas

Written by：Stephen Collins Foster/Samantha Parton

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

I'm going to Louisiana my own true love for to see

It rained all night the day I left the weather was bone dry

And the sun so hot I froze to death Susanna don't you cry

Oh Susanna don't you cry for me

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

Well I had a dream the other night when everything was still

I dreamed I saw Susanna coming down the hill

A buckwheat cake was in her mouth a tear was in her eye

Said I'm coming from the south Susanna don't you cry

Oh Susanna don't you cry for me

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

Well I soon will be in new Orleans and when I do arrive

I'll go and find Susanna if she is still alive

And if I do not find that girl but I will surely die

But when I'm buried in my grave Susanna don't you cry

Oh Susanna don't you cry for me

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

I'm going to Louisiana my own true love for to see
