All the words
I came from Alabama,
With my banjo on my knee;
I'm going to 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,
Oh, don't you cry for me!
I've come from Alabama,
With my banjo on my knee.I had a dream the other night
When ev'ry thing was still;
I thought I saw Susanna
A-coming down the hill;
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth,
The tear was in her eye.
Says I, "I'm coming from the South;
Susanna, don't you cry."
