[Verse 1]
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana
Susanna for to see
It rained all night
The day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot
I froze myself
But Susanna, don't you cry

[Chorus]
Oh, Susanna
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

[Verse 2]
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna
Coming down that 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
[Chorus]
Oh, Susanna
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
Oh, Susanna
Don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
