Oh Suzannah [German translation]

Well, I come from Alabama

with my 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

Now the sun was so hot I froze myself

Suzanne, don't you go on and cry

I said, oh, Suzannah

Just don't you cry for me

As I come from Alabama

with my banjo on my knee

Now honey, while I got you with me

I sing a happy tune

Miss you when you leave me

like the roses missed in June

Lord, and if you ever come back

I'm gonna hold you all night long

And if you ever have to leave me

I will sing a sad, sad song

And I sing, oh, Suzannah

Now, don't you cry for me

'Cause I come from Alabama

with my banjo on my knee
