I've come from Alabama, with
My banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisana, my true
love for to see

Chorus
Oh Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
I've come from Alabama, with
My banjo on my knee

It rained all night the day
I left the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I'll froze to death
Susanna don't you cry

Chorus
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 a tear was in her eyes
Says I'm coming from the South
Susanna don't you cry

Return to the top

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner, forty niner
And his daughter Clementine

Chorus
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling Clementine
You're lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine

Light she was as any fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Herring - boxing without topses
Scandals were for Clementine

Chorus

Drive she ducklings to the water
One fine morning just at nine
Got her foot caught in her eyebrow
Fell in where the ripples shine

Chorus

Ruby lips beneath the water
Blowing bubbles soft and fine
Alas for me I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine

Chorus

In the churchyard, near the river
There a myrtle doth entwine
With some roses and other posies
Springing straight from Clementine

Chorus

In my dreams she still doth haunt me
Dripping wet and yells ' Be mine '
Though in life I used to hug her
Now she's dead, poor Clementine

Chorus
One way ticket ( 6x )
To the blues, choo choo a train chugging
Down the track
Gotta travel on, never coming back woo . . .
Got a one way ticket to be blues ( gotta go on )

Bye - bye love, my baby's leaving me
Now lonely tear drops are
All that I can see, woo.....
Got a one way ticket to blues

Chorus

I'm gotta take a trip to lonesome town
Gonna stay at heartbreak hotel
A fool such as I that never was
I cry the tear so well

Chorus
Got my ticket and chug along
One way, one way, one way ticket

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile
While you've a Lucifer to light your tag
Smile boys that's the style
What's the use of worrying
It never was worthwhile
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile

From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That brightens our pathway for a while

Chorus
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the red river valley
And the girl / boy that has loved you so true

Won't you think of the valley you're leaving
Oh how lovely, how sad it will be
Oh think of the fond hear you are breaking
And the grief that you are causing me
As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the red river valley
And the love we exchanged 'mid the lowers
Please come back to the red river valley
Please come back to the heart that is true
I'll be waiting my darling for you

Chorus

Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not the half the man I'm used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly

Chorus
Why she had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I say something wrong
Now I longed for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday

Chorus

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang sang

For auld lang sang! My dear
For auld lang sang
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang sang

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE

You are my only sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You never know dear how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away

The other day dear as I was sleeping
I dreamt of you were by my side
When I awake, I was mistaken
So hang my head and cried

You told me one dear you'd always love
And no one else could come between
And then you left me and found another
You have shattered all my dreams

DONNA

On a wagon bound for the market
There's a calf with a mournful eye
High above him there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky

Chorus
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna, donna, donna )
Donna, donna, donna ) ( 2x )
Donna, donna, donna )
" Stop complaining ", said the farmer
"Who don't you have wings to fly
Like the swallow so proud and free
Calves are easily bound slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learnt to fly "
