Lyrics: Stephen Foster
Music: Stephen Foster
when I come from Alabama
With the banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana,
My true love for to see
Oh, Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama
With the banjo on my knee
It rained all night
The day I left
The weather was bone dry
The sun so hot,
I froze to death
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama
With the banjo on my knee
when I had my side for dream last night
When everything was still
I dreamed I saw that girl Susanna
a-coming down the hill
Oh, Susanna
don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama
With the 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
don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama
With the banjo on my knee
I come from Alabama
With the banjo on my knee
