Well, it rained all day the night I left
Susannah, don't you cry
'Cause the times we spent together
They always got me high
But lightin' up a cigarette
I walked right out the door
Like I done it
A thousand times before

So, oh, Susannah
Child, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama
In 1973

The night we talked about it
I came to say goodbye
But I can't go back without you
Let's give it one more try
And I remember times were hard
And grief was all we atе
Lived a year on beer and buckwheat cakеs

So, oh, Susannah
Child, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama
In 1973
Oh, Susannah
Child, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama
Back in 1973

Ridin' down the highway
Tears are in my eyes
I thought I saw Susannah
Then I realized
Gotta get Louisiana off my mind for good
Just starin' at my banjo
And I wish to God I could

So, oh, Susannah
Child, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama
In 1973

Susannah
Child, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama
In 1973
