Oh Susanna - Stephen Foster
Oh I [C] come from Alabama with a banjo on my [G] knee,
I'm [C] going to Louisiana, my true love [G] 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.
[F] Oh, Susanna, [C] don't you cry for [G] me
For I [C] come from Alabama,
with my banjo [G] on my [C] knee.
I [C] had a dream the other night when everything was [G] still,
I [C] thought I saw Susanna coming [G] up the [C] hill,
The [C] buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her [G] eye,
I [C] said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna [G] don't you [C] cry.
[F] Oh, Susanna, [C] don't you cry for [G] me
For I [C] come from Alabama,
with my banjo [G] on my [C] knee.
I [C] soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look [G] around
And [C] when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall [G] upon the [C] ground.
But [C] if I do not find her, then I will surely [G] die,
and [C] when I'm dead and buried, Susanna [G] don't you [C] cry.
[F] Oh, Susanna, [C] don't you cry for [G] me
For I [C] come from Alabama,
with my banjo [G] on my [C] knee.
