Well, I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
And I'm bound for Lousiana
My true love for to see
Well
It rained all night
The day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot
I froze myself
Susanna don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
Oh, don't you cry for me
Well, I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susanna
She was coming down the hill
A red
Red rose was in her mouth
A tear was in her eye
Said I come from Alabama
Now, Susanna don't you cry
Oh, Susanna
Don't you cry for me
Well, I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
Well, I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
The land of Louisiana
Is where I want to be
