"oh, susanna"
intro to Little Amsterdam
September 13, 1998
Eugene, Oregon

I come from Alabama with
a banjo on my knee
and I'm bound for Louisiana
my trouble a far to see, and
it rained all night
the day left and
the way, the way was bone dry
and the sun was so hot
I drove myself
I drove myself and
back in, and I said
Susanna, don't you clone yourself
'cause I'm watching
every little piece of flesh
on you, darling
and I made you, honey
from my clay
so, Susanna, don't you cry
I said, Susanna, I made you
from my flesh
no matter what your daddy
did to you
my little earth girl, I said
you're my daughter, sweet girl
so, Susanna, don't you cry
a la la na na ah ah ah
a la la na na ah ah ah
come on, go

I come from Alabama with
a banjo on my knee
and I'm bound for
every little girl's
oh, sweet thing
I'm gonna set it free, oh girls, I said
Susanna, oh don't you hide yourself
I know you're bone dry, sweet girls
but I made you, girl
your little flesh
oh no, Susanna
your daddy's
got no
got no claim to sweet girl
Susanna, don't you cry
I said, Susanna
don't you cry...
