Oh Suzanna

^AI came from Alabama Wid my banjo on my ^E7knee,
I’m ^Ag’wan to Louisiana, my ^E7true love for to see,
It ^Arain’d all night the day I left, the weather it was ^E7dry,
The ^Asun so hot I frose to death; Susanna, ^E7don't you ^Acry.

  ^DOh! Susanna, Oh! ^Adon't you cry for ^E7me,
  I’ve ^Acome from Alabama, wid my ^E7banjo on my ^Aknee.
  ^DOh! Susanna, Oh! ^Adon't you cry for ^E7me,
  I’ve ^Acome from Alabama, wid my ^E7banjo on my ^Aknee.

I jumped aboard de telegraph, And trabbelled down de ribber,
De Lectrie fluid magnified, And killed five hundred Nigger
De bullgine bust, de horse run off, I realy thought I’d die;
I shut my eyes to hold my breath, Susanna, don't you cry.

I had a dream de odder night When ebery ting was still;
I thought I saw Susanna, A coming down de hill.
The buckwheat cake war in her mouth, The tear was in her eye,
Says I’m coming from de South, Susanna, don't you cry.

I scon will be in New Orleans, And den I’ll look all round,
And when I find Susanna, I’ fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her, Dis darkie ’I surely die,
And when I’m dead and buried, Susanna, don't you cry.
