I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
Iโm 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 donโt 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 dreamed I saw Susanna a-coming down the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
I said to her, Susanna girl
Susanna, donโt you cry
Oh, Susanna,
Oh donโt you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
Oh, Susanna,
Oh donโt you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
