Oh Susanna

This Stephen Foster song was first performed in public at Andrew's Ice Cream Saloon on September 11, 1847 in Pittsburgh.


(F) I come from Alabama with a banjo (G7) on my (C7) knee
I'm (F) going to Louisiana... My true love (C7) for to (F) see
It rained all night, the day I left, the weather (G7) it was (C7) dry
It (F) was so hot I froze to death... Susanna (C7) don't you (F) cry

(Bb) Oh Susanna oh (F) don't you (G7) cry for (C7) me
I (F) come from Alabama with a banjo (C7) on my (F) knee

(F) I had a dream the other night when every (G7) thing was (C7) still
I (F) dreamt I saw Susanna a coming (C7) down the (F) hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was (G7) in her (C7) eye
I (F) says I'm coming from the south... Susanna (C7) don't you (F) cry

(Bb) Oh Susanna oh (F) don't you (G7) cry for (C7) me
I (F) come from Alabama with a banjo (C7) on my (F) knee

(F) I am going to New Orleans and I will (G7) look a (C7) round
and (F) if I find Susanna I'll fall (C7) upon the (F) ground
But if I do not find her then I will (G7) surely (C7) die
and (F) when I'm dead and buried... Susanna (C7) don't you (F) cry

(Bb) Oh Susanna oh (F) don't you (G7) cry for (C7) me
I (F) come from Alabama with a banjo (C7) on my (F) knee

(Bb) Oh Susanna oh (F) don't you (G7) cry for (C7) me
I (F) come from Alabama with a banjo (C7) on my (F) knee
