Oh ! Susanna Analysis

1I came from Alabama
2wid my ban jo on my knee,
3I'm g'wan to Louisiana,
4My true love for to see,
6It raind all night the day I left
7The weather it was dry,
8The sun so hot I frose to death
9Susanna dont you cry.

10[Chorus] Oh! Susanna Oh! dont you cry for me
11I've come from Alabama wid mi ban jo on my knee.

12[Solo] I jumped aboard de telegraph,
13And trabbelled down de riber,
14De Lectric fluid magnified,
15And Killed five Hundred Nigger
16De bullgine buste, de horse run off,
17I realy thought I'd die;
18I shut my eyes to hold my breath,
19Susana, dont you cry.

20[Chorus] Oh! Susana Oh! dont you cry for me
21I've come from Alabama wid mi ban jo on my knee.

22[Solo] I had a dream de odder night,
23When ebery ting was still;
24I thought I saw Susana,
25A coming down de hill.
26The buckwheat cake war in her mouth,
27The tear was in her eye,
28Says I, im coming from de South,
29Susana, dont you cry.

30[Chorus] Oh! Susana Oh! dont you cry for me
31I've come from Alabama wid mi ban jo on my knee.

32[Solo] I soon will be in New Orleans,
33And den I'll look all round,
34And when I find Susana,
35I'll fall upon the ground.
36But if I do not find her,
37Dis darkie 'l surely die,
38And when I'm dead and buried,
39Susana, dont you cry.

40[Chorus] Oh! Susana Oh! dont you cry for me
41I've come from Alabama wid mi ban jo on my knee.
