It rained all night the day I left The weather it was dry The sun so hot, I froze to death Susannah, don't you cry. 2) Oh, Susannah, Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With a banjo on my knee. I had a dream the other night When everything was still I dreamed I saw Susannah dear A-coming down the hill. 3) A buckwheat cake was in her mouth A tear was in her eye. Says I, “I'm coming from the south, Susannah, don't you cry.” Oh, Susannah, Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With a banjo on my knee.

13. Arkansas Traveler by Colonel Sanford Faulkner (Lyrics selected by the State in 1947) (1)On a lonely road quite long ago, A trav'ler trod with fiddle and a bow; While rambling thru the country rich and grand, He quickly sensed the magic and the beauty of the land. (2)Many years have passed, the trav'lers gay, Repeat the tune along the highway; And every voice that sings the glad refrain Re-echoes from the mountains to the fields of growing grain. Chorus: For the wonder state, we'll sing a song, And lift our voices loud and long. For the wonder state, we'll shout hurrah! And praise the opportunities we find in Arkansas.
