Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I come from Alabama with a 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.

[Chorus]
Oh, Susanna, don’t you cry for me
cos’ 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 up the hill,
A buck wheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye,
I said I’m coming from the south, Susanna don’t you cry.

[Chorus]
Oh, Susanna, don’t you cry for me
cos’ I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee.

[Verse 3]
I soon will be in New Orleans and then I’ll look around
And when I find my Susanna, I’ll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her, this man will surely die
And when I’m dead and buried, Susanna don’t you cry.

[Chorus]
Oh, Susanna, don’t you cry for me
cos’ I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee.

Oh, Susanna, don’t you cry for me
cos’ I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee.
