Carly Simon - Oh! Susanna Lyrics
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, dont you cry.[Chorus:]Oh! Susanna, Oh! dont 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 NiggerDe bullgine bust, de horse run off, I realy thought I'd die;I shut my eyes to hold my breath, Susanna, dont 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, dont you cry.[Chorus]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, dont you cry.[Chorus]
