Lyrics:

I Came From Alabama
wid My Banjo On My Knee,
i'm G'wan To Louisiana
my True Love For To See,
it Rain'd All Night The Day I Left,
the Weather It Was Dry,
the Sun So Hot I Frose To Death;
susanna, Don't You Cry.

chorus
oh! Susanna, Oh! Don't You Cry For Me,
i've Come From Alabama, Wid My Banjo On My Knee.

i Jumped Aboard De Telegraph,
and Trabbelled Down De Ribber,
de Lectrie Fluid Magnified,
and Killed Five Hundred Nigger
de Bulgin' Bust, De Horse Run Off,
i Really Thought I'd Die;
i Shut My Eyes To Hold My Breath,
susanna, Don't You Cry.



chorus

i Had A Dream De Odder Night
when Ebery Ting Was Still;
i Thought I Saw Susanna,
a Coming Down De Hill.
the Buckwheat Cake War In Her Mouth,
the Tear Was In Her Eye,
says I'm Coming From De South,
susanna, Don't You Cry.

chorus

i Soon Will Be In New Orleans,
and Den I'll Look All Round,
and When I Find Susanna,
i' Fall Upon The Ground.
but If I Do Not Find Her,
dis Darkie 'i Surely Die,
and When I'm Dead And Buried,
susanna, Don't You Cry.
