Lyrics:

Well I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
And I'm bound for Louisiana
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 every thing was still
I dreamed I saw Susanna
She was coming down the hill
Her red, red rose was in her mouth
The 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've come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
The land of Louisiana somewhere I want to be
