Lyrics of Oh susanna

I come from alabama with my banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to louisiana my own true love for to see
It rained all night the day i left, the weather was bone dry
And the sun so hot i froze to death, susanna, don't you cry

Oh susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from alabama with my banjo on my knee

Well, i had a dream the other night when everything was still
I dreamed i saw susanna comin' down the hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye
Said i'm comin' from the south, susanna, don't you cry

Oh susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from alabama with my banjo on my knee

Well, i soon will be in new orleans and when i do arrive
I'll go and find susanna if she is still alive
And if i do not find that girl i will surely die
But when i'm buried in my grave, susanna, don't you cry

Oh susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from alabama with my banjo on my knee
