I come from Alabama 
With my banjo on my knee  
I'm going 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  
For I 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  
The tear was In her eye Says I,
I'm coming from the south Susanna, 
don't you cry Oh, Susanna,  
Oh don't you cry for me  
For I come from Alabama  
With my banjo on my knee
