laurie berkner - o susannah lyrics
i came from alabama,
wid my banjo on my knee,
i’m gwyne 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 froze to death,
susanna don’t you cry.
refrain:
i had a dream de odder night
when ebery ting was still,
i thought i saw susanna
a comin down the hill;
the buck-wheat cake was in her mouth,
the tear was in her eye;
says i, “i’m coming from the south
susanna don’t you cry.”
refrain:
i jumped aboard de telegraph,
and trabbled down de riber,
de lectric fluid magnified,
and killed five hundred chigger-.
the bullgine bust, de horse run off,
i really thought i’d die;
i shut my eyes to hold my breath,
susanna don’t you cry.
refrain:
i soon will be in new orleans,
and den i’ll look around,
and when i find susanna,
i will fall upon de ground.
and if i do not find her,
dis darkie’ll surely die,
and when i’m dead and buried,
susanna, don’t you cry.
refrain:
refrain:
oh! susanna,
oh don’t you cry for me,
i’ve come from alabama
wid my banjo on my knee.
