I came from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee,
I'm goin 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 everything was still;
I thought I saw Susanna
A - coming down 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."
