Oh Suzanna

I came from Alabama Wid my banjo on my knee,
I’m g’wan to Louisiana My true love for to see,
It rain’d all night the day I left, The weather it was dry,
The sun so hot I frose to death; Susanna, don't you cry.

  Oh! Susanna, Oh! don't you cry for me,
  I’ve come from Alabama, wid my banjo on my knee.

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.
