Oh! Susannah

Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
 And I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see
 It did rain all night the day I left
 The weather was bone dry
 The sun was so hot I froze myself
 Suzanne, don't you go on and cry
 I said, oh, Susannah
 Now, don't you cry for me
 As I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee
 Well I had myself a dream the other night
 When everything was still
 I dreamed that I saw my girl Suzanne
 She was coming around the hill
 Now, the buckwheat cake was in her mouth
 A tear was in her eye
 I said, that I come from Dixie land
 Suzanne, don't you break down and cry
 I said, oh, Susannah
 Now, don't you cry for me
 Cause I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
