Oh, Susannah Lyrics - Sweet Baby James - James Taylor

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, Suzannah 

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, Suzannah 

Now, don't you cry for me 

'Cause I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
