Lyrics and Chords:
-----------------
Verse:
G ' ' D7
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
G ' [G D7] G
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
G ' '
It rained all night the day I left, the weather
D7
it was dry
G ' [G D7]
The sun so hot, I froze to death Susanna, don't
G
you cry
Chorus:
------
C ' G D7
Oh, Susanna, Oh don't you cry for me
G ' [G D7] G
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
Verse:
-----
I jumped aboard the telegraph and traveled down
the river,
Electric fluid magnified, and killed five hundred
Nigger.
The bullgine bust, the horse ran off, I really
thought I'd die;
I shut my eyes to hold my breath—Susanna, don't
you cry.
Chorus
Verse:
-----
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I’ll look
all round,
And when I find Susanna, I'll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her, then I'll surely die,
And when I’m dead and buried, Susanna, don't you cry
Chorus
