I came from Alabama with my 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
Oh, Susanna oh don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
ย
I had a dream the other night when everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna a-comin' down the hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye
Says, "I am coming from the south, Susanna don't you cry"
Oh, Susanna oh don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
ย
I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look around
And when I find Susanna I'll fall upon the ground
If I do not find her this man I surely die
And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry
Oh, Susanna oh don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
