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.

Oh, susannah uitprinten
