I come from Alabama with my 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
Oh, Susanna, oh don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
I jumped aboard de telegraph and trabbled down de wire,
De 'lectric fluid magnified and killed hundreds in de fire.
De bull-gine bust, de horse run off, I really thought I'd die
I shut my eyes to hold my breath,
Susanna, don't you cry.
Oh, Susanna, oh don't you cry for me
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
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
I says, I's 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
