Well I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
And I'm bound for Louisiana
My true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left;
The weather was bone dry!
The sun so hot I froze myself
Susannah don't you cry!
Chorus:
Oh Susannah, oh don't you cry for me!
For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee!
Well I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamed I saw my girl Susanne
Coming down the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
I says I come from Dixieland
Susannah don't you cry!
