Oh Susanna Lyrics


One, two, three
I come from Alabama
With the banjo on my knee
I'm bound for Louisiana
My true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left
The weather, it was dry
The sun so hot I froze myself
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh Susanna
Oh, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With the banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamt I saw Susanna
Coming 'round a hill

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
Tear was in her eye
I said I'd come to take you home
Susanna don't you cry
Oh Susanna
Oh, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With the banjo on my knee
Oh Susanna
Oh, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With the banjo on my knee
Oh Susanna
Oh, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With the banjo on my knee

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

(1921-1993) Abner Jay’s extensive bread-crumb trail of albums, disseminated via his own Brandie Records imprint, represents one of the most individual takes on traditional song form to have risen from the 20th century. Jay spent several decades (the 1930s through the 1950s) working in touring minstrel shows, resurrecting the spirit of his late grandfather through songs passed down through generations.
