Who wrote 'Oh Susanna'?

But it’s interesting to look at the lyrics that Foster actually wrote for his biggest hit: ‘Oh Susanna’. It turns out that the lyrics to this song have been heavily modified over the years, largely to erase its racist past.. There are the first lyrics published upon release of the song in 1848.

How do you write a song about Susanna?

SUSANNA. A musical score should appear at this position in the text. Wid my banjo on my knee, My true love for to see; The weather it was dry, Susanna, don't you cry. CHORUS. Oh! Susanna, Oh don't you cry for me, I've come from Wid by banjo on my knee.

How many verses are in 'Oh Susanna'?

Following the success of “Oh! Susanna,” he signed a contract with Christy Minstrels, one of the most popular and influential blackface performing troupes of the 19th century. The original lyrics included three verses, each followed by a refrain: “Oh Susanna, do not cry for me; I come from Alabama, with my Banjo on my knee.”

Did you know the lyrics of 'Oh Susanna' have changed since 1848?

Little did I know that the lyrics have been completely changed since 1848. Last week, a major controversy erupted over a statue commemorating American composer Stephen Foster. He’s the songwriter of classic American songs like ‘Oh Susanna’ and ‘Camptown Races’ (more on the lyrics to ‘Oh Susanna’ in a moment).

Oh! Susanna

A popular song in the 1850's, Oh! Susanna was composed by songwriter Stephen Foster in 1847. The song is occasionally (and incorrectly) called "Banjo on My Knee". Quite often in traditional American folk music, a song is around long en ough to change its meaning by the addition and removal of verses. Oh! Susanna is a great example of this. Now seen as an incredibly racist form of entertainment, Oh! Susanna was written in the minstrel/blackface tradition. Blackface groups wore theatrical makeup to make them look like African slaves, mocking them as uneducated and low-class individuals. When originally written, the song had a verse that talked about killing black slaves. Typically, this verse is no longer sung, due to its use of racial slurs and violence.

The song tells a story about a man going

to New Orleans to see his beloved Susanna. It's full of longing and desire, and the narrator dreams of Susanna at night and talks about falling on the ground when he first sees his love.

By eliminating the violent racist verse,

and singing it without the mock accent, it's a fairly tame love song that has worked its way into the hearts and history of

American folk music.

LYRICS

The original lyrics:

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

For I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee

Oh Susannah was set with new lyrics and became known as the "forty-niners" theme song. This version was sung by miners during the California Gold Rush

I came from Salem City

with my washpan on my knee

I'm going to California,

the gold dust for to see.

It rained all night the day I left,

the weather it was dry

The sun so hot I froze to death,

Oh, brothers don't you cry.

Oh, Susannah, Oh, don't you cry for me

I'm going to California with my washpan on my knee.

I soon shall be in Frisco

and there I'll look around.

And when I see the gold lumps there,

I'll pick them off the ground.

I'll scrape the mountains clean, my boys,

I'll drain the rivers dry.

A pocketful of rocks bring home,

So, brothers don't you cry.
