Oh I come from Alabama
with my banjo on my knee
And I’m goin to Lou’siana
My Susanna 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
CHORUS:
Oh Susanna, oh don’t 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 thought I saw Susanna
A-comin’ cross the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
A tear was in her eye
Says I, “I’m comin’ from the South”
Susanna, don’t you cry (CHORUS)
