I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana
Susanna for to see
It rained all night
The day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot
I froze myself
But Susanna don't you cry
Oh Susanna
Don't you cry for me
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
Coming down that hill
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
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
Oh Susanna
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
