Oh Susannah

 C                                    G
Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,
C G C
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
C G
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
C G C
The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry.

F C G
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
C
For I come from Alabama,
G C
with my banjo on my knee.

C G
I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
C G C
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill,
C G
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye,
C G C
I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry.

F C G
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
C
For I come from Alabama,
G C
with my banjo on my knee.

C G
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around
C G C
And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon the ground.
C G
But if I do not find her, this darkey'll surely die,
C G C
and when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry.

F C G
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
C
For I come from Alabama,
G C
with my banjo on my knee.
