Oh Susannah A country Pollyanna With her brown hair and a pair of eyes real blue Her mother told her Girl, you're getting older Gotta find a man to shoulder half of what you go through So by the fifth of January She found a man to marry He was a former missionary from the Bay Side Grove But he found it more rewarding To trade the good Lord in For some whiskey and a Ford And then away he drove. He said Oh Susannah don't you cry for me In Alabama's where I'm gonna be But she said No tears were shed Found a man for my bed And I got myself a banjo Got a banjo for free Got myself a banjo sitting on my knee Instead of hoping and a-wishin She broke with tradition Hit the road a new musician With an old banjo Cause Susie she was smarter If she worked a little harder She would never be a martyr for his cause Oh no He said Oh Susannah don't you cry for me In Alabama's where I'm gonna be But she said No tears were shed Found a man for my bed And I got myself a banjo Got a banjo for free Got myself a banjo sitting on my knee Oh Susannah Oh Susannah Her husband was returning His broke heart yearning For his Susie who was earning More than he'd ever known She said Boy you're funny But it's my damn money I'm a country star honey Oh you're on your own He said Oh Susannah don't you cry for me In Alabama's where I'm gonna be But she said No tears were shed Found a man for my bed And I got myself a banjo Got a banjo for free Got myself a banjo sitting on my knee Got myself a banjo Got a banjo for free Got myself a banjo sitting on my knee
