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.
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,

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.

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.
