I came from Salem City | |
with my washpan on my knee | |
I'm going to California, | |
the gold dust for to see. | |
It rained all night the day I left, | |
the weather it was dry | |
The sun so hot I froze to death, | |
Oh, brothers don't you cry. | |
Oh, Susannah, Oh, don't you cry for me | |
I'm going to California with my washpan on my knee. | |
I soon shall be in Frisco | |
and there I'll look around. | |
And when I see the gold lumps there, | |
I'll pick them off the ground. | |
I'll scrape the mountains clean, my boys, | |
I'll drain the rivers dry. | |
A pocketful of rocks bring home, | |
So, brothers don't you cry. |

The sun so hot I froze to death, | |
Oh, brothers don' t you cry. | |
Oh, Susannah, Oh, don' t you cry for me | |
I' m going to California with my washpan on my knee. | |
I soon shall be in Frisco | |
and there I' ll look around. | |
And when I see the gold lumps there, | |
I' ll pick them off the ground. | |
I' ll scrape the mountains clean, my boys, | |
I' ll drain the rivers dry. | |
