Well I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
And I’m going to Lousianna
My true love for to see
O Susannah don’t you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death
Susannah don’t you cry
O Susannah don’t you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
Well I had a dream the other night
That everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah
Coming down the hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth
And a tear was in her eye, says I
I’m comin’ from the South
Susannah don’t you cry
O Susannah don’t you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
Well I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
And I’m going to Lousianna
My true love for to see
O Susannah don’t you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
Well, it rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
And the sun so hot I froze to death
Susannah don’t you cry
O Susannah don’t you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susannah
Coming down the hill
Well, a buckwheat cake was in her mouth
And a tear was in her eye, says I
I’m comin’ from the South
Susannah don’t you cry!
O Susannah don’t you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
O Susannah don’t you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
