Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,
E B E
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
E B
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
E B E
The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry.
A E B
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
E
For I come from Alabama,
B E
with my banjo on my knee.
E B
I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
E B E
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill,
E B
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye,
E B E
I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry.
A E B
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
E
For I come from Alabama,
B E
with my banjo on my knee.
E B
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around
E B E
And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon the ground.
E B
But if I do not find her, this darkey'll surely die,
E B E
and when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry.
A E B
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
E
For I come from Alabama,
B E
with my banjo on my knee.
