Oh! Susanna chords
Oh I Acome from Alabama with a banjo on my Eknee,
I'm Agoing to Louisiana, my true love Efor to Asee
It Arained all night the day I left, the weather it was Edry
The Asun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, Edon't you Acry.
DOh, Susanna, Adon't you cry for Eme
For I Acome from Alabama,
with my banjo Eon my Aknee.
I Ahad a dream the other night when everything was Estill,
I Athought I saw Susanna coming Eup the Ahill,
The Abuckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her Eeye,
I Asaid I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna Edon't you Acry.
DOh, Susanna, Adon't you cry for Eme
For I Acome from Alabama,
with my banjo Eon my Aknee.
I Asoon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look aEround
And Awhen I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall uEpon the Aground.
But Aif I do not find her, this darkey'll surely Edie,
and Awhen I'm dead and buried, Susanna Edon't you Acry.
DOh, Susanna, Adon't you cry for Eme
For I Acome from Alabama,
with my banjo Eon my Aknee.
