Lyrics

I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
I'm bound for 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, don't you cry for me
I, I come from Alabama
A banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna
She was coming up the hill
[Instrumental]
It rained, it rained, it rained forever
The river rising high
I saw my dear Susanna
A tear was in her eye
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me, for me, for me
I come from Alabama
A banjo on my knee
[Instrumental]
I'll soon be in New Orleans
And then I'll look around
And when I find Susanna
I'll fall upon the ground, yeah
And if I do not find her
Then I will surely die
And when I'm dead and buried
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
A banjo on my—
No, no, Susanna, don't you cry for me
I come from Alabama
A banjo on my knee
