Oh Suzannah

G                                                  A7               D7
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
      G                                                     D7     G
I'm going 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
