I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee

I'm going to Louisiana

My true love for to see

Oh Susanna

Oh don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama

With my 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

Susanna don't you cry

Oh Susannah

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

A-coming down the hill

Oh Susanna

Oh don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee

The buckwheat cake

Was in her mouth

The 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

I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee

I'm going to Louisiana

My true love for to see

Oh Susanna

Oh don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee
