OH SUZANNA Key C
C G7
1. Oh I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
C G7 C
And I’m going to Louisiana my true love for to see
C G7
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry,
C G7 C
The sun’s so hot I froze to death, Suzanna don’t you cry.
Chorus:
F C G7
Oh Suzanna, don’t you cry for me
C G7 C
I’ve come to Alabama with my banjo on my knee.
2. I had a dream the other night, when everything was still.
I thought I saw Suzanna, a-coming down the hill.
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye.
Says I, I’m coming from the South, Suzanna don’t you cry.
3. I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I’ll look around.
And when I find Suzanna, I’ll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her, then I will surely die,
and when I’m dead and buried, Suzanna don’t you cry.
