[Verse 1]
Goodnight Irene or Susana don't cry for me I'm going to California
I'll see you in my dream
And black oak savanna black oak savanna
[Verse 2]
I rode into town on a Sunday
Black tie and tails on a donkey
I rode into town with banjo on my knee
Those times are kind of funky
And black oak savanna black oak savanna
And black oak savanna black oak savanna
[Verse 3]
When I left the prairies I headed East
I was a stranger then in a city of trees
And black oak savanna black oak savanna
And black oak savanna black oak savanna
