I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I’m going to Louisiana
My true love for to see

IIt rained all night
The day I left
The weeather it was dry
The sun so hot
I froze to death
Susanna, don’t you cry

Oh, Susanna
Oh, don’t you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night

I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna
A-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
Oh, don’t you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
