I come from Alabama
With my 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.
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still,
I thought I saw Susanna
Coming down 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,
Don't you cry for me.
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee.
Oh! Susanna,
Don't you cry for me.
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee.
