哦，蘇珊娜

斯蒂芬·福斯特

I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

I"m going to Louisiana, my true love for to see

It rained all night the day I left

The weather it was dry

The sun so hot, I froze to death

Susanna don"t you cry

Oh, Susanna,

Oh don"t you cry for me

For I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night when everything was still

I thought I saw Susanna a-coming down the hill

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth

The tear was in her eye

Says I, I"m coming from the south

Susanna, don"t you cry

Oh, Susanna,

Oh don‘t you cry for me

I"m going to Louisiana

With my banjo on my knee

Oh, Susanna,

Oh don‘t you cry for me

I"m going to Louisiana

With my banjo on my knee

創作故事

據說當時在匹茲堡擔任倉庫點收員的福斯特，發起並組織了一個業餘男聲五重唱團。其中有位團員的妻子叫蘇珊·肯脫萊脫，相貌十分美麗動人，除了一頭金色的捲髮外，她爽朗、活潑、直率的性格也非常惹人喜愛。作者福斯特正是以此為靈感，創作出本曲的。

歌中表達了主人公對蘇珊娜的刻骨銘心的愛。為了這份愛他可以獻出自己年輕的生命，為了愛人黃土埋身也心甘情願。他遠離家鄉，四處尋找心上人，冒著酷暑頂著烈日心卻像冰一樣的冷，但此心不變。
