Red Vanguard - Oh! Susanna Lyrics

I left Alabama, with a banjo on my knee
Heading to Louisiana, my true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left, the weather was so dry
The sun so hot I thought I'd melt; Susanna, don't you cry
Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama, with my banjo on my knee
I jumped aboard the train, and traveled down the river
The journey was long, with cold shivers I did quiver
The engine burst, the horses spooked, I really thought I'd die
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, Susanna don't you cry
Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama, with my banjo on my knee
I had a dream just other night, when everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna coming down the hill
A smile of joy upon her face, the stars lit up the sky
She said, "I'm waiting for you, dear," Susanna, don't you cry
I'll soon be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around
And when I find my Susanna, I'll dance upon the ground
But if by chance we do not meet, I won't sit down and sigh
For life is sweet and surely, Susanna, don't you cry
Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama, with my banjo on my knee
Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama, with my banjo on my knee
