Oh, Susannah
Jing jinge jing jinge jing jinge jing (3x)Jinge jing jing, jing jing
I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
I’m going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
Refrein:
Oh, Susannah,
Oh don’t you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
Jing jinge jing etc.
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot, I froze to death, Susannah, don’t you cry
Refrein
Jing jinge jing etc.
I had a dream the other night, when everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah dear, a-coming down the hill
Refrein
Jing jinge jing etc.…
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye
Says I, “I’m coming from the south, Susannah, don’t you cry”
Refrein
Jing jinge jing etc.
