Oh, Susannah
Composer(s): Stephen Foster
Performer(s): The Byrds;
and various other artists



I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana
My true love for to see

It rained all night
The day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot
I froze to death
Susannah, don't you cry

Oh, Susannah
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susannah
A-coming down the hill

The buckwheat cake
Was in her mouth
The tear was
In her eye
Says I, I'm coming from the south
Susannah, don't you cry

Oh, Susannah
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
