I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
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 a banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna
A coming down that hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
Says I am coming from the south
So Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
Oh, Susanna
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
