To the Mississippi river and the Gulf of Mexi- co

My great grand daddy came to that Red river line

And camped on the north side, un- til it was time

To cross or to stay, to be sooner or not

Well he headed south to San Antone, they said he liked it hot
[Chorus]

Su- sanna oh Su- sanna when it comes my time

Won't you bur- y me south of that Red river line
