Oh Susanna Lyrics - Be Good Tanyas

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
