Oh Susanna

James Taylor

key: C Tuning: E A D G B E
         C           Am
Well, I come from Alabama
        Dm           G
with my banjo on my knee.
         C              Am
And I'm bound for Louisiana,
        Dm        G      C
my own true love for to see.
        C                   Am
It had rained all night the day I left
     Dm               G
The weather was gone dry.
          C            Am
Now, the sun so hot I froze myself
  Dm                 G       C
Susanna don't you go on and cry.

[Chorus]
         F      G
I said - Oh! Susanna,
       C                Dm
child don't you cry for me.
      C           Am
As I come from Alabama
        Dm    G      C
with my banjo on my knee.


[Verse 2]
              C
Gall, when I got you with me
   G
I say it had be true.
 C
Miss you when you leave me
        G                 C
like a rose is missed in june.
          C
Ooooh and if you'd ever come back
           G
I'm gonna hold you all night long.
           C
And if you ever had to leave me
        G              C
I will sing a sad sad song.

[Chorus]
               F
And I'll sing: Oh! Susanna,
 C                G 
don't you cry for me.
          C
'Cause I come from Alabama
         G           C      G C
with my banjo on my knee.
