chanson écrire par Stephen Foster dans les années 1850 mais qui est encore à la mode au temps des cow boy



Ho! Susanna (Stephen Foster)

I came from AlabamaWid my banjo on my knee

I’m g’wan to LouisianaMy true love for to see

,It rain’d all night the day I left,

The weather it was dry,The sun so hot I frose to death;

Susanna, don't you cry.

Chorus:Oh! Susanna,

Oh! don't you cry for me,

I’ve come from Alabama, wid my banjo on my knee.

III jumped aboard de telegraph,And trabbelled down de ribber,

De Lectrie fluid magnified,And killed five hundred Nigger

De bullgine bust, de horse run off,I realy thought I’d die;

I shut my eyes to hold my breath,Susanna, don't you cry.

Chorus:

IIII had a dream de odder nightWhen ebery ting was still;

I thought I saw Susanna,A coming down de hill.

The buckwheat cake war in her mouth,The tear was in her eye,

Says I’m coming from de South,Susanna, don't you cry.

Chorus:

IVI scon will be in New Orleans,And den I’ll look all round,

And when I find Susanna,I’ fall upon the ground.But if I do not find her,

Dis darkie ’I surely die,

And when I’m dead and buried,Susanna, don't you cry.

Chorus:Oh! Susanna, Oh! don't you cry for me,I’ve come from Alabama, wid my banjo on my knee.

moi je la chante et je danse dessus
