Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I had a dream the other night
Everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah
She was coming down the hill

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Because I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
(oh susannah, oh susannah)

[Verse 2]
Buckwheat cake was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
Says I'm coming from the south
Susannah don't you cry

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
Sun so hot I froze to death
Susannah don't you cry

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
I had a dream the other night
Everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah
She was coming down the hill

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Well I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana
My true love for to see

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me (oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Because I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
(Oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Yeah, I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
(Oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
Yeah, I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
(Oh Susannah, oh Susannah)
I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
