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
