I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,\r
Im going to Louisiana, my true love for to see\r
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry\r
The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, dont you cry.\r
\r
Oh, Susanna, oh dont you cry for me\r
For I come from Alabama,\r
With my banjo on my knee.\r
\r
I had a dream the other night when everything was still,\r
I thought I saw Susanna coming down the hill,\r
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth,\r
A tear was in her eye.\r
I am comin from the South!\r
Susanna dont you cry.\r
\r
Oh, Susanna, oh dont you cry for me\r
For I come from Alabama,\r
With my banjo on my knee.
