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 oh don't you cry for me

For 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 dear a coming down the hill

A buckwheat cake was in her mouth

A 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

For I'm going to Louisiana with my banjo on my knee

Oh Susanna oh don't you cry for me

For I'm going to Louisiana with my banjo on my knee
