Connie Francis - O Suzanna (오 수잔나)

 

 

O Suzanna  / melody by Stephen Collins Foster

 

I came from Alabama, Wid my 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. Refrain: I jumped aboard de telegraph, And trabbled down de riber, De lectric fluid magnified, And killed five hundred chigger*. The 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. Refrain:

I had a dream de odder night When ebery ting was still, I thought I saw Susanna A comin down the hill; The buck-wheat cake was in her mouth, The tear was in her eye; Says I, "I'm coming from the South Susanna don't you cry." Refrain: I soon will be in New Orleans, And den I'll look around, And when I find Susanna, I will fall upon de ground. And if I do not find her, Dis darkie'll surely die, And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, don't you cry. Refrain:

Refrain: Oh! Susanna, Oh don't you cry for me, I've come from Alabama Wid my banjo on my knee.
