My grandma used to sing this at night and in the kitchen when she cooked. She passed recently after a long battle with cancer. I feel like this song accurately depicts her in life and death and I feel that every time I hear this song she's telling me not to cry over her death,
My nana did the same thing. when i was little, she would sing "oh susanna, don't you cry for nana" and after she died recently (cancer) this was all i could think. and now i'm sobbing. great.
This is one of those childhood songs that you know you know it but just don't know what it is until one day you randomly find out and it gives you a nice nostalgic feeling
You are 100% correct. I heard this song for the 1st time in 45yrs. I recently started watching classic bugs bunny looney tunes on RUclips and bugs bunny and Elmer Fudd were singing it and literally had a flood of nostalgia😢
I, remember listening to this song in my childhood. I just found the song and listened to it. It’s so nostalgic what classic American western song from 1848!!
We used to sing this in primary school in England. Who knew I would find myself alone at 60 in Arizona? Fond memories and nostalgia too. Hurts a lil but also brings joy somehow. Enjoy the time you have here on Planet Earth. God bless to all.
Am an Indian, got a book as a gift from my uncle, used to be taught in USA primary school with this poetry, then I was maybe 7 or 8 now 25, and still I am listening to this.
Who else is listening 2024 ? This is my song .This song is very touching. I love this sweet song. This song brings back memories .....from Fort Worth, Texas
Our school teacher in Bangalore, India taught us this song in music class in the 1960's. I used to belt it out with others while she played the piano without a clue as to what it was about. It was years later before I found out. God bless her.
During my choir class almost 8 years ago, our teacher taught us this and I sang this for my choir assessment. All my classmates praised my voice that day. I’ll always remember it and it brings out so much memories. I suddenly remembered this today and this has been on loop for me the entire day. Reminds me of my choir teacher!
I sang this for my dying grandmother 5yrs ago. Dear God, when she died I was lost in sin until I found my father, my creator Jesus who came down and said, “My son, don’t you cry for you shall see her soon and then thy angels will sing a great song of prayer for thy coming back to see thy.”
My brother had to learn this song for a piano class, while we still lived in Canada, and my dad thought it was catchy that he began singing it all the time. We've moved to America since, and every time Alabama is mentioned, my dad would start singing this song. We live in the south, so it happens a lot
I heard oh Susanna but it's the piano version and since then I started learning piano until now. I really like listening to this song because it makes me remember my childhood🥺
I heard this song in my primary school and I really loved it and since then along with "Red River Valley " during music class and stuck in my head till now and till the end.Oh my "Susanna" where are you that I sing this song you don't cry for me !
Ok so I grew up in the fens and countryside of England rather than the American south, but the gentle tune of this song still takes me back to those days 🥺❤️
I had heard this song for the very first time in 1989 in the Hindi movie Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, I liked it a lot at that time, the melody, although I didn't understand the words very well, nor did I know what song it was, I lived in India back then. For all these years, I didn't know anything about this song, but remembered the melody. Today, I went back and re-saw the clip from that movie where the the group of college students in India sing this song and dance to it, in that movie. Feel very thrilled to have finally found it !!!
This makes me cry. Because I sung this with my friend, I have not seen her in a year. We used to sing, make movies, and dance😥😔 Hope you are good Malia❤
My kids watched a cartoon where this song was sang. They've been singing it constantly for the past 3days. I decided to find it for them as it brought me back childhood memories. They are enjoying it a lot
This is the song my refrigerator sings when we leave the door open for to long! We have had it for around 10 years maybe more and only now I know what it is called!
This is the best version I've heard here on RUclips - the singer is low-key but to the point, and the arrangement is wonderfully simple and straightforward.
I can't believe this, I'm 60 years old, and just yesterday I got this song stuck in my head but there was something about the lyrics that was messed up. I kept thinking it went "it rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry" and as I watch the lyrics, I see that isn't the only contradiction in the song. It's hilarious. I know we had to sing this in school like 50+ years ago and I'd never given it a thought until yesterday. Now I'm wondering if somebody is trying to tell me something like.....maybe I'm going to die soon....I guess ya never know. I hope I can get it out of my head now.
“the sun so bright , I froze to death” The coldest winter days in Alabama are a cloudless winter day after a cloudless night. The temperature will be below freezing, and the brilliant sun in the cloudless offers no warmth
It's filled with contradictions because it was inspired by blackface minstrel shows. The characters are supposed to act dumb and silly. Original lyrics aren't as fun or silly though.
I used to listen to my younger sisters singing this song in their elementary school days in the late 70 ties.. When I became a teacher, I taught this song to my students in English class back in 1992 and last year one of the students reminded me about the significance of his song to him. English was something alien and new to him and he told me that he really enjoyed this song which opened his interest to English language.
This was my English teacher's favorite song in grade 1. She was actually called Teacher Susan. Taught it to us and we all loved this song back then. I remember reading those Amelia Bedelia books as well, they were Teacher Susan's favorite books. Quarantine got me on a very heavy throwback lol
My grandfather used to sing this song sometimes when he woke up every morning before he got ready to go to work and when he came home at night he listened to oh Susanna before bed he still sings this song 🎵 😭 😩 😑 😅 😐 🎵
25 years of living, and I finally found the proper version of this song. RUclips, you've done it again, you've helped me reclaim part of my childhood I never got to enjoy.
I looked up this song because it's mentioned in the book The Secret Life of Bees. May sings it when she's upset. It makes more sense to me now because the song goes "Susanna don't you cry." May sings it to keep herself from crying.
My grandma used to sing this at night and in the kitchen when she cooked. She passed recently after a long battle with cancer. I feel like this song accurately depicts her in life and death and I feel that every time I hear this song she's telling me not to cry over her death,

I'm so sorry xxx
Amen

And then you find out its racist
You are 100% correct. Wish more power to you. I invite you to visit India and I will be more than happy to assist and host you. 🙏🙏
Yeah? Lol, go look up the original version. This one's missing a specific verse.....

I sing this for my little nieces as a lullaby ❤
Oh susanna now don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with an arrow stuck in my knee
An arrow stuck in the knee means you are married. It isnt mentioned in the song. Albood was joking...
Nope, this is just an old patriot song. But maybe someone made a parody out of it.

That meme is so dank it's almost dead... and yet i still laughed.

My big brother just sent me this song to remind me how my late Papa use to sing for me when I was a little girl 😢😢 I really really missed him
This song is world renowned, here I am in Johannesburg South Africa enjoying every word of it!
heard this song somewhere and sometime in my childhood and finally here I found it =) this beautiful rhythm echoed throughout my whole childhood.
How much I love this sweet song. When I heard it first I couldn't help my tears. I don't know the reason. But I love this
My little girl Susanna used to stop crying when I played this song and sang!!

From Brazil.
Meu pai cantava essa música.
I love Alabama.
I can pick out the harmony now--couldn''t do that much before. Used to sing con meu pai!
I sang this for my dying grandmother 5yrs ago. Dear God, when she died I was lost in sin until I found my father, my creator Jesus who came down and said, “My son, don’t you cry for you shall see her soon and then thy angels will sing a great song of prayer for thy coming back to see thy.”

I first heard this in 2nd grade. I still love it

Three things immediately came to my mind when listening to this song:
1. Goofy - "Californy 'er Bust"
2. The8 from Seventeen
3. Mixue
