Oh Susannah

                    BABY JAMES 
album. Released 1970.


     Tabbed by:PJVillanueva







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.
The sun was so hot I froze myself,
Suzanne, don't you go on and cry.
I said, oh, Susannah, now,
don't you cry for me,
as I come from Alabama
with this banjo on my knee.

Well I had myself a dream the other 
night
when everything was still,
I dreamed that I saw my girl 
Suzanne,
she was comin' around the hill.
Now, the buckwheat cake was in her 
mouth,
a tear was in her eye.
I said that I come from Dixieland,
Suzanne, don't you break down and 
cry.
I said, oh, Susannah, now,
don't you cry for me,
as I come from Alabama
with my banjo on my knee.






This song features two guitar 
tracks. Both in standard tuning.
For the 1st one you must use a capo 
on the 3rd fret. It is used
the whole song through and it is 
played in A, matching the other
one in C, for which you don't need 
the capo. This 2nd one is
played just in the Intro and Outro.
