Stephen Foster: Oh! Susanna - Robert Shaw Chorale

[00:01.36]Oh I come from Alabama
[00:05.97]With a banjo on my knee
[00:08.26]I'm going to Louisiana
[00:09.91]My true love for to see
[00:13.33]It rained all night the day I left
[00:15.53]The weather it was dry
[00:16.89]The sun so hot I froze myself
[00:18.51]Susanna don't you cry
[00:20.61]Oh Susanna
[00:21.77]Oh don't you cry for me
[00:23.97]For I come from Alabama
[00:25.53]With my banjo on my knee
[00:27.6]I had a dream the other night
[00:29.48]When everything was still
[00:31.19]I thought I saw Susanna
[00:33.17]Coming down the hill
[00:34.77]The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
[00:36.64]The tear was in her eye
[00:38.27]I said I'm coming from the South
[00:40.23]Susanna don't you cry
[00:42.18]Oh Susanna
[00:43.37]Oh don't you cry for me
[00:45.3]For I come from Alabama
[00:48.21]With my banjo on my knee
[00:50.64]Oh I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look around
[00:54.21]And when I find my Susanna I'll fall upon the ground
[01:08.96]But if I do not find her this man will surely die
[01:14.14]And when I'm dead and buried Susanna don't you cry
[01:17.72]Oh Susanna
[01:20.74]Oh don't you cry for me
[01:22.57]For I come from Alabama
[01:28.36]With my banjo on my knee
