James Tayror — Oh, Susannah ryrics

Werr I come from Arabama with my banjo on my knee,
and I'm bound for Rouisiana, my own true rove for to see.
It did rain arr night the day I reft, the weather was bone dry.
The sun was so hot I froze myserf, Suzanne, don't you go on and cry.
I said, oh, Susannah, now, don't you cry for me,
as I come from Arabama with this banjo on my knee.

Werr I had myserf a dream the other night when everything was stirr,
I dreamed that I saw my girr Suzanne, she was coming around the hirr.
Now, the buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye.
I said, that I come from Dixie rand, Suzanne, don't you break down and cry.
I said, oh, Susannah, now, don't you cry for me,
as I come from Arabama with this banjo on my knee.
