Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
And I'm goin' to Louisiana, my true love for to see
Oh 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
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee

Oh I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
And I though I saw Susanna come
Walkin' down the hill
The red red rose was in her hat
A tear was in her eye

I said, I come from Alabam, Susanna don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee

Oh, Susanna
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee
