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
A-coming down the 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
Oh don’t you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
