Oh, Susanna (A)

(S. Foster) G / d

        G

1.    I came from Alabama

                    D

With my banjo on my knee,

    G

I’m g’wan to Lousiana

             D      G

My true love for to see.

   G

It rained all night, the day I left

                    D

The wheather it was dry,

    G

The sun so hot I froze to death;

         D         G

Susanna, don’t you cry!

C                G                 D

Rf.   Oh, Susanna, oh, don’t you cry for me,

     G

I’ve come from Alabama

              D     G

With my banjo on my knee.

2.    I had a dream the other day

When ev’rything was still,

I thought I saw Susanna

Acoming down the hill,

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth,

The tear was in her eye;

Say I, I’m coming from the South,

Susanna, don’t you cry.
