oh! susanna - carly simon lyrics

Loading...

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, don’t you cry.

chorus:
oh! susanna, oh! don’t 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 n-gg-r
de bulgin’ bust, de horse run off,
i really thought i’d die;
i shut my eyes to hold my breath,
susanna, don’t 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, don’t you cry.

chorus:

i soon 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, don’t you cry.
