Oh! Susanna

Mandy, Aunt Mandy.

Wait, Joel. Wait for me.

I'm here first, Aunt Mandy. Oh,

look at that

cake. May I have some?

That cake is for the picnic, Joel.

Isn't it, Mandy?

It sure is, Susanna, honey. Now,

you all help me put the sandwiches

in the basket,

and Sam'll fetch the watermelon.

[piano music] I come from Alabama

with my banjo on my knee.

I'm goin' to Louisiana,

my Susanna for to see. It rained all day,

the night

I left, the weather was so dry.

The sun so hot I froze

myself, Susanna, don't you cry. Oh,

Susanna, oh, don't you cry for me.

I'm goin'

to Louisiana, my Susanna for to see.

Mandy, here's the pony cart.

[horse neighs] Hold his reins, Sam.

I'll help with the lunch.

I got them, Uncle Henry.

They're coming, Uncle Henry.

Take the basket, Joel.

Easy now, Susanna,

don't you drop the cake.

[horse neighs] I'll sit on this side.

All right, up we go.

There. You all set now? All right, Sam.

Get up, boy.

Sing the words, Sam. Sing the words.

Oh, I went down South for to see my gal.

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

My Sally Anne, my spunky gal.

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

Fare thee well, fare thee well,

fare thee well my fairy fay.

For I'm off to Louisiana for to see my

Susanna.

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day. Oh,

my Sal she am a maiden fair.

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

With curly eyes and laughing hair.

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

My Sal looks fine alongside of me.

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

I'm five foot tall, she's six foot three.

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

Fare thee well, fare thee well,

fare thee well my fairy fay.

For I'm off to Louisiana for to see my

Susanna.

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.

Sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day.
