Camptown Races

Captown Races 의 존재 위치에 대하여...

[인터넷매체 (liveaboutdotcom)의 Kim Ruehl의 글]

Camptown in Pennsylvania, near Foster's hometown, is thought by some to be the inspiration for the song,though the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission cannot say for certain whether there was a racetrack in or near the city or its length. 포스터의 고향 펜실바니아주 역사박물관에서 1700년대 개척시대에 Wyalushing City인근에 경마장의 존재 및 경주로 길이에 정확하게 답을 하지 못하고 있으나, 다른 역사적 고증에 의하면 임시 거처하는 노동자들을 위하여 철로길 옆에 5마일의 경주로가 있었다 함. Kim Ruehl에 의하면 노래의 원래 제목(title)은 Gwine to run all night (=Going to run all night)였다고 함. Other sources say that there were horse races from the city to Wyalusing, Pennsylvania, about five miles between each city center. Others believe the song refers to "camp towns," established by transient workers near railroads. Or it could be all of the above.

Oh,Susanna

Oh,I come from Alabama with a 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; Susanna, don't you cry.
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.
Oh,I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
I thought I saw Susanna coming up 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
Oh,Susanna,Oh don`t you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
