Oh! Susanna Lyrics - Into White - Carly Simon

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. 

Chorus: 

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 bulgin' bust, de horse run off, 

I really thought I'd die; 

I shut my eyes to hold my breath, 

Susanna, don't you cry. 

Chorus: 

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.

Chorus: 

I soon 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.
