I come from alabama with my banjo on my knee
i'm goin' to louisiana my own true love for to see
it rained all night the day i left the weather was bone dry
and the sun so hot i froze to death susanna don't you cry
Chorus:
oh susanna don't you cry for me
i come from alabama with my banjo on my knee
Well i had a dream the other night when everything was still
i dreamed i saw susanna comin' down the hill
a buckwheat cake was in her mouth a tear was in her eye
said i'm comin' from the south susanna don't you cry
(chorus)
Well i soon will be in new orleans and when i do arrive
i'll go and find susanna if she is still alive
and if i do not find that girl i will surely die
but when i'm buried in my grave susanna don't you cry
(chorus)
