Lyrics
I came from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
I'm gwine to Louisiana, my true love for to see
It rained the night and day I left, the weather was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang
Clang-a-lang, clang, clang, clang, clang
Clang, clang, clang, the 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, her hair was in pie
Says I, "I'm coming from the South, Susanna, don't you cry"
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabamy with my banjo on my knee
Clang, clang, clang, clang
Clang-a-lang, clang-a-lang, clang, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, Susanna
With the banjo on my knee, clang, clang
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang
Tune up, son, clang, clang, hee-haw
Sounds like a Chinese rhapsody, ding, clang, clang, clang
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
Clang, clang, clang
Say, oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with something on my knee
Don't know whether it's a banjo, might be a mandolin
It might be a thing of tin
But I come from Alabama with something on my knee
