Oh! Susanna

G D I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee, G D G I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see. G D It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry, G D G The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna, don't you cry. Chorus: C G Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me, G D G For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. G D I had a dream the other night when everything was still, G D G I thought I saw Susanna a-coming down the hill. G D The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye, G D G Says I, I'm coming from the south, Susanna, don't you cry. G D I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around, G D G And when I find Susanna, I'll fall upon the ground. G D But if I do not find her, this darkie'll surely die, G D G And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, don't you cry.
