Oh, Susanna! Songtext
von Pete Seeger

I come from Alabama
With a 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
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
Don′t you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee


I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susanna
A-coming down the hill
A red red rose was in her cheek
A tear was in her eye
I said to her Susanna gal
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
Oh, Susanna
Don′t you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
