Oh Susanna

said, i come from alabama

a banjo on my knee

and i'm bound for Louisiana

my true love for to see

it did rain all night the day he left

the weather was bone dry

though the sun was so hot, i drove myself

i drove myself and

and i said

susanna, don't you cloth yourself

cause i'm watchin' every little piece of flesh

on you, darlin'

and i made you, honey

of rubber clay

so susanna, don't you cry

i said, susanna i made you from my flesh

no matter what your daddy did to you

my little earth girl, i said

your my daughter, sweet girl

so susanna, don't you cry

ladadaladadada

come on, girl

i come from alabama

with a banjo on my knee

i'm bound for every little girl's

sweet thing

i'm gonna set it free, oh girls

i said

susanna, oh don't you hide yourself

no i know you're bone dry, sweet girl

but i made you girl

your little flesh

oh susanna, your daddy's got no

got no claim on you, sweet girl

susanna, don't you cry

i said, susanna, don't you cry
