Buckwheat cake that was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
Says I'm coming, from the South
Susannah, don't you cry
Oh! Oh! Oh! Susannah
Don't you cry for me (Oh Susannah, Oh Susannah)
'Cause I come from Alabama
With my BANJO on my knee (Oh Susannah, Oh Susannah)
Rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
Sun so hot I froze to death
Susannah, don't you cry
Oh! Oh! Oh! Susannah
Don't you cry for me (Oh Susannah, Oh Susannah)
'Cause I come from Alabama
With my BANJO on my knee (Oh Susannah, Oh Susannah)

And his daughter Clementine
Light she was and like a fairy
And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes, without topses
Sandals were for Clementine
A
F#m
Clementine, Clementine
A
D
Oh my darling, Clementine
F#m
Drove she ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot there against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine
But, alas, I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
Clementine, Clementine
Oh my darling, Clementine
Then the miner forty-niner
Soon began to peak and pine
Thought he ought to join his daughter
Now he slept with Clementine
In my dreams she still doth haunt me
Robed in garments soaked in brine
Thought in life I used to hug her
In death, I draw the line
Clementine, Clementine
Oh my darling, Clementine
How I missed her! How I missed her
How I missed my Clementine
So I kissed her little sister
And I forgot my Clementine
Clementine, Clementine
Oh my darling, Clementine
Clementine, Clementine
You are lost and gone, Clementine
Clementine, Clementine
You are lost and gone, Clementine
I stabbed her with my knife
Hang down your head, Tom Dula...
This time tomorrow
I reckon where I'll be
Hadn't been for Grayson
I'd a-been in Tennessee
Solo over verse chords
Hang down your head, Tom Dula...
This time tomorrow
I reckon where I'll be
In some lonesome valley
Hangin' from a white oak tree
Solo over verse chords
Hang down your head, Tom Dula...
I met her on the mountain
And there I took her life
Met her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife
Hang down your head, Tom Dula...
Ridin' many a mile (Oh...)
Papa did you bring me silver?
Papa, did you bring me gold?
Did you come to see me hangin'
By the gallows pole?
I couldn't bring no silver
Didn't bring no gold
I come to see you hangin' boy
By the gallows pole (Ah...)
Hangman, hangman, slack your rope
Slack it for a while
Think I see my mother comin'
Ridin' many a mile (Ooh...)
Mama, did you bring me silver?
Mama, did you bring me gold?
Did you come to see me hangin'
By the gallows pole?
I didn't bring no silver
Didn't bring no gold
I come to see you hangin' child
By the gallows pole (Ah...)
Hangman, hangman, slack your rope
Slack it for a while
Think I see my sweetheart comin'
Ridin' many a mile (Ooh...)
Honey, did you bring me silver?
Honey, did you bring me gold?
Did you come to see me hangin'
By the gallows pole? (Ah...)
I brought you silver
Brought you a little gold
Didn't come to see you hangin'
By the gallows pole (Ah...)

Well the sun comes along and she lights up the day
And then when she gets tired she just flies along on her way
From the East to the West she goes down every day
But look at me here

I got them sit down, can't fly
Oh, Lord I'm gonna die blues

I once knew a man. He worked in a mine
Well he never saw the sun but then he never stopped tryin'
And then one day that old man he up and he died
Yeah he up and he died
He up and he died
Well he wanted to fly
And the only way to fly was to die
Lord I'm gonna die...
Repeat first verse and chorus
Lord I'm gonna die...
I know I'm gonna die...

This land was made for you and me
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing"
But on the other side it didn't say nothing
That side was made for you and me
Instrumental verse
In the shadow of the steeple, I saw my people
By the relief office, I'd seen my people
As they stood hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
This land is your land...
Instrumental verse
Nobody living can ever stop me
As I go walking that freedom highway
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land...
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing"
But on the other side it didn't say nothing
That side was made for you and me
This land is your land...

I know that dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beautious fields lie just before me
Where God's redeeming their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
