The lyrics, "little twinkling stars on high are while all around us soft winds sigh and great watches or wo he lo lo,", do not belong to this particular "Oh, Susannah" version sung by campfire girls.
Actual Lyrics
*Verse 1*
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 - Susannah, don't you cry.
Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me,
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.
*Verse 2*
I had a dream the other night when everything was still;
I dreamed I saw Susanna dear, 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."
(Chorus)
*Verse 3*
I jumped aboard the old town train, the whistle it did blow;
I leaned my head against the window - the tears began to flow;
She waved her lily-white hand and I waved mine also.
Goodbye, Susanna, don't you cry... for me.
(Chorus)
