You familiar with the original lyrics to Steven Foster's Oh! Susanna? >I came from Alabama, Wid a banjo on my knee, >I’m gwyne to Louisiana, My true love for to see. >It rain’d all night the day I left, The weather it was dry, >The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don’t you cry. >Chorus: >Oh! Susanna, Oh don’t you cry for me, >cos’ I’ve come from Alabama, Wid my banjo on my knee >I jumped aboard the telegraph, And trabbled down the riber, >De lectric fluid magnified, And killed five hundred nigger. >De bullgine bust, de horse run off, I really thought I’d die; >I shut my eyes to hold my breath, Susanna don’t you cry. >Chorus >I had a dream the odder night, When ebery thing was still >I thought I saw Susanna A Coming down de hill; >The buck-wheat cake was in her mouth, The tear was in her eye; >Says I, “I’m coing from de south, Susanna, don’t you cry.” >Chorus >I soon will be in New Orleans, And den I’ll look all round, >And When I find Susanna, I will fall upon de ground. >And If I do not find her, Dis Darkie’l surely die, >And when I’m dead and buried, Susanna, don’t you cry. >Chorus Might be able to find an old recording of it somewhere, but it would be a hard search I'd venture.
