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
Susannah, don´t you cry.

Oh, Susannah,
Oh don´t you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee.

I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah 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,

Susannah, don´t you cry.”

Oh, Susannah,
Oh don´t you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee.

I come from A-la-ba-ma
With a ban-jo on my knee,
I´m going to Lou-i-siana,
My true love for to see.

Oh, Su-san-nah, oh,
Don´t you cry for me,
For I come from A-la-ba-ma
With a ban-jo on my knee.
