I came 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,
I came 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. don't you cry for me,
I've come from Alabama, with my banjo on my knee.
I jumped aboard the telegraph,
And traveled down the river,
the electric fluid maginified,
And killed five hundred chiggers.
the bullgine bust, the horse run off,
I really thought I'd die;
I shut my eyes to hold my breath,
Susanna, don't you cry.
Oh! Susanna, don't you cry for me,
I've 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,
coming down the hill.
The buckwheat cake war in her mouth,
The tear was in her eye,
Says I'm coming from the South,
Susanna, don't you cry.
Oh! Susanna, don't you cry for me,
I've come from Alabama, with my banjo on my knee.
I soon will be in New Orleans,
And then I'll look all around,
And when I find Susanna,
I fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her,
i might surely die,
And when I'm dead and buried,
Susanna, don't you cry.
