Well I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
And I'm going to Louisiana
My true love for to see
Oh Susannah
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
It rained all night
The day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot
I froze to death
Susannah don't you cry
Oh Susannah
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susannah
A-comin' down the hill
Oh Susannah
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
