ご存知でしたか？



１、I come from Alabama,
With my banjo on my knee,
I'm goin' to Lousiana,
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.

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

２、I had a dream de odder night,
When ebery ting was still,
I thought I saw Susanna,
A coming down de hill,
De buckwheat cake was in her mouth,
De tear was in her eye,
Says I, I'm coming from de South,
Susanna, don't you cry.

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


３、I soon will be in New Orleans,
And den I'll look all round,
And when I find Susanna,
I'll fall upon de ground,
But it I do not find her,
Dis darkie'll surely die,
And when I'm dead and buried,
Susanna, don't your cry.

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