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