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 don't 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 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 cry
Oh, Susanna don‘t cry for me
I"m going to Louisiana With my banjo on my knee.
