Hi

A friend just hd a boaby who she named suzannah after the song 'Oh Suzannah' , and asked me to try to find the lyrics. I have been searching around in my song books and on the web using arious spellings, and haven't been able to locate them ( strange?). Any chance you could point me to a web or text source for these lyrics?

Thanks

Of course it could be spelt Susanna or Susannah, and there's probably other choices too. Nice name.

Well, I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,
And I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see.
It did rain all night the day I left. The weather was bone dry.
The sun was so hot I froze my self. Suzann' don't you break down and cry.

Well I had myself a dream the other night when everything was still.
I thought that I saw my girl Suzann' comin' round the hill.
Oh, the buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye.
I thought that I saw my girl Suzann'. Please don't you break down and cry.

I had the pleasure of meeting Willie Nelsons guitar player, Jody Payne after one of their shows. Jody is a native of Alabama. Like me, he is an avid golfer and we talked more golf than music. Of course they get to play the best courses in the world. I told him if they ever need a bad banjo player but good guy to golf with in the band that I'm their man. He replied that they already have a bad banjo player, him. He then mentioned that he has a banjo tatoo, and asked me to guess where. I couldn't guess, so he said it's on my knee of course. I should have guessed. Great guy.

Taj Mahal does a really neat version of Oh, Susanna.
