Oh Susannah Songtext
von Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Oh, Susannah
Oh Susannah, oh Susannah
Oh Susannah, oh Susannah

I had a dream the other night (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Everything was still (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
I dreamed I saw Susannah (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
She was comin′ down the hill (oh, Susannah)

Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
′Cause I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
(Oh Susannah, oh Susannah)

Buckwheat cake was in her mouth (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
The tear was in her eye (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Says I'm comin' from the South (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Susannah, don′t you cry (oh, Susannah)

Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don′t you cry for me (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
'Cause I come from Alabama with a B-A-N-J-O on my knee
(Oh Susannah, oh Susannah)


Rained all night the day I left (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
The weather, it was dry (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Sun so hot, I froze to death (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Susannah, don′t you cry (oh, Susannah)

Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
′Cause I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
(Oh Susannah, oh Susannah)

I had a dream the other night (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Everything was still (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
I dreamed I saw Susannah (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
She was comin' down the hill (oh, Susannah)

Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don′t you cry for me (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
'Cause I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
(Oh Susannah, oh Susannah)

Well, I come from Alabama (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
With my banjo on my knee (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
I'm goin′ to Louisiana (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
My true love for to see (oh, Susannah)


Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don′t you cry for me (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
'Cause I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
(Oh Susannah, oh Susannah)

Yeah, I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
(Oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Yeah, I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
(Oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
I come from Alabama with my B-A-N-J-O on my knee

That′s funky, it is, it is
But it sounds very funky, the sound is really good
It gets into a good groove
