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

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 come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee (yee-ha)

Oh, Susanna

Oh, don′t you cry for me

For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
