I come from Alabama with a 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 don't you cry for me

Cos' I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee

Had a dream the other night

When everything was still

I thought I saw Susanna coming down

The hill

A buck wheat cake was in her mouth

A tear was in her eye

I said I'm coming from the south

Susanna don't you cry

Oh Susanna don't you cry for me

Cos' I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee
