I came from Alabama wid My banjo on my knee I'm g'wan to Louisiana My true love for to see It rain'd all night the day I left The weather it was dry The sun so hot I frose to death; Susanna don't you cry Oh Susanna Oh dont you cry for me I've come from Alabama Wid my banjo on my knee I had a dream the other night When everyting was still; I thought I saw Susanna A coming down de 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 Oh Don't you cry for me I've come from Alabama Wid my banjo on my knee I scon will be in New Orleans And den I'll look all round And when I find Susanna I fall upon the ground But if I do not find her Dis darkie I'll surely die And when I'm dead and buried Susanna don't you cry Oh Susanna Oh don't you cry for me I've come from Alabama Wid my banjo on my knee Oh Susanna Oh don't you cry for me I've come from Alabama Wid my banjo on my knee I've come from Alabama Wid my banjo on my knee I've come from Alabama Wid my banjo on my knee
