Oh Suzanna

 O SUZANNA

Traditional/Written By: Stephen Foster

I came from Alabama 

With my banjo on my knee, 

I'm going to Louisiana 

My true love for to see; 

It rained all night the day I left, 

The weather it was dry; 

The sun so hot I froze to death;

Susanna, don't you cry.

O, Susanna, O, don't you cry for me,

I've come from Alabama 

With my banjo on my knee.

I had a dream the other night 

When everything was still;

I thought I saw Susanna 

A-coming down the hill; 

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, 

The tear was in her eye; 

Says I, I'm coming from the south, 

Susanna, don't you cry. 

O, Susanna, O, don't you cry for me, 

I've come from Alabama 

With my banjo on my knee.

I think that especially Czech children would like this one, because it's a very popular song in our counry and they would love to learn an English version of song they already know.
