I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana my true love for to see
When it rained all night the day I left The weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death
Oh susanna! Oh don't you 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 SusannaComing down the hill
The buck-wheat cake was in her mouth
The tears were in her eye
Says I I'm coming from the South
Oh Susanna oh don't you cry for me
I'm going to Louisiana with my banjo on my knee
Oh Susanna oh don't you cry for me
I'm going to Louisiana with my banjo on my knee
