I came 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.
Refrain:
Oh, Susanna,
Oh, don't you cry for me,
I've come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee.
I had a dream the other night,
When ev'rything was still.
I thought I saw Susanna
A-coming down the hill.
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth,
The tear was in her eue.
Say I, "I'm coming from the South,
Susanna, don't you cry."
Refrain
