Oh Susanna

G                                                  A7               D7
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
G                                                                D7     G
And I'm goin' to Louisiana my true love for to see
C                      G                          D7  
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
G                                                         A7     D7       G 
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

    G                                                    A7                       D7
It rained all night the day I left the weather it was dry
G                                                                      D7       G
The sun so hot, I froze to death, Susanna, don't you cry
C                      G                         D7
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
G                                                        A7     D7      G
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

  G                                                         A7                      D7
I had a dream the other night when everything was still
G                                                    D7            G
I thought I saw Susanna a-coming down the hill

G                                                              A7                    D7
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth the tear was in her eye
G                                                             D7            G
Says I, I'm coming from the south Susanna, don't you cry
C                       G                         D7  
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
G                                                        A7      D7       G 
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
