Lyrics for Oh! Susannah

Well, I come from Alabama, with the banjo on my knee I'm going to Louisiana, Susannah for to see Oh, Susannah, oh, don't you cry for me 'Cause I come from Alabama, with the banjo on my knee Well, it rained so hard the night I left, the weather it was dry And it was so hot, I froze to death, Susannah, don't you cry Oh, Susannah, oh, don't you cry for me 'Cause I come from Alabama, with the banjo on my knee Well, I come from Alabama, with the banjo on my knee And I'm going to Louisiana, Susannah for to see Oh, Susannah, oh, don't you cry for me 'Cause I come from Alabama, with the banjo on my knee Well, it rained so hard the night I left, the weather it was dry And it was so hot, I froze to death, Susannah, don't you cry Oh, Susannah, oh, don't you cry for me 'Cause I come from Alabama, with the banjo on my knee
