I come from Alabama
with my banjo on my knee
I'm goin' 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
Oh don't you cry for me
I've 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
a-comin' down the hill
The buckwheat cake
was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
Says I
I'm comin' from the south
Susanna don't you cry
Oh Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
I've come from Alabama
with my banjo on my knee
I came from Alabama
with my banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to Louisiana
my true love for to see
Oh Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
I've come from Alabama
with my banjo on my knee
Oh Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
I've come from Alabama
with my banjo on my knee
