Writing the song Oh! Susanna Part 2
Writing the song Oh! Susanna Part 2

LYRICS
It rained all night the day I left
The it was dry
And, we all go marching
Down into the ground
To get out of the rain

When January feels like June
Wake up! Wake up! And, none too soon
And we all go searching
Everywhere all around
To get our of the rain

Oh! Susanna
Won’t you cry for me
Oh! Susanna
All can surely see
Oh! Susanna
It’s a tragedy

Oh! Susanna Part 2.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 1
C Am
G Am

Written and recorded on January 12, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 4-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. After posting this status on Facebook, the song was written and recorded on the streets: “Hmmm… 60 degrees in January… perfect day to take music to the streets… maybe write a global warming song?”

It started while I was sleeping… I heard a news report about severe weather being the new normal. Then, I started hearing a mix of the Stephen Foster song Oh! Susanna and the children’s version of Johnny Comes Marching Home known as The Ants Go Marching (and a dash if You Are My Sunshine)… kind-of tossing traditional irony with a modern day twist.

LYRICS
Sitting on the bed
Looking out the window
Shaking of my head
Blocking out the shadow

When I was a child it use to snow
Since then, man went wild
Now, you never know

Standing with the keys
Pining out the window
Opportunity to seize
Singing to the snow
Where did you go?

We know
What we did to you, Snow
Please last
Please forgive us
For we know what we’ve done
First is last is first is last

Please forgive us,
Quasi-civilization Of The Dumb

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — A D A
A Em7 A

Written and recorded December 29, 2012 in Chester County, Pennsylvania as an extemporaneous, 1-track, stereo, digital recording. It started snowing today, and it made me long for days gone. So, I thought I’d write a song for part of our Human Induced Climate Change Experiment and an article entitled Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover is Retreating. (Also see: Record Warming)
