[Intro] [Verse] I came from Alabama with my banjo on my knee, I'm goin' 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, oh don't you cry for me, For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me, For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. [Verse] I had a dream the other night when everything was still, I thought I saw Susanna dear, a-coming down the 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, oh don't you cry for me, For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me, For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. [Verse] I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around, And when I find Susanna, I'll fall upon the ground. But if I do not find her, this darkie'll surely die, And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, don't you cry. [Chorus] Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me, For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. [End] [Chorus] Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me, For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me, For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. [Chorus] Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me, For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. Oh! Susanna, oh don't you cry for me, For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. [End]
