Oh Susannah Tabulatur von Stephen Foster (für Baryton)

Verse:

C
I come from Alabama
              G
With my banjo on my knee
    C
I'm goin' to Louisiana
             G      C
My true love for to see

It rained all night the day I left
                   G
The weather it was dry
    C
The sun so hot I froze to death
          G         C
Susannah, don't you cry

Chorus:

F
Oh, Susannah!
    C                 G
Oh, don't you cry for me
      C
For I come from Alabama
             G      C
With a banjo on my knee

Verse:

C
I had a dream the other night
                    G
When everything was still
  C
I thought I saw Susannah
         G        C
A-coming down the hill

A red, red rose was in her hand
                    G
The tear was in her eye
  C
I said, "I come from Dixie land
          G         C
Susannah, don't you cry"

Chorus:

F
Oh, Susannah!
    C                 G
Oh, don't you cry for me
      C
For I come from Alabama
             G     C
With a banjo on my knee

Verse:

C
I soon will be in New Orleans
                     G
And then I'll look around
    C
And when I find Susannah
            G      C
I'll fall upon the ground

But if I do not find her
              G
I will surely die
    C
And when I'm dead and buried
          G         C
Susannah, don't you cry

Chorus:

F
Oh, Susannah!
    C                 G
Oh, don't you cry for me
      C
For I come from Alabama
             G     C
With a banjo on my knee
