I come from Alabama
with my banjo on my knee.
I'm going to Louisiana,
my Susanna for to see.
Oh, Susanna,
oh don't you cry for me!
For I come from Alabama
with my 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,
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 dear
a-coming down the hill.
Oh, Susanna,
oh don't you cry for me!
For I come from Alabama
with my banjo on my knee.
The buckwheat cake
was in her mouth,
the tear was
In her eye.
I said: "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. Music: Stephen Foster .
