Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
And I'm going to Louisiana Susannah for to see
Oh, Susannah, oh, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
Well, it rained so hard the night I left, the weather it was dry
And it was so hot I froze to death, Susannah  don't you cry
Oh, Susanna, oh, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
[Verse 2]
Well, I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
And I'm going to Louisiana Susannah for to see
Oh, Susannah, oh, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
Well, it rained so hard the night I left, the weather it was dry
And it was so hot I froze to death, Susannah don't you cry
Oh, Susannah, oh, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
