Lyrics:

I've come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to Louisiana my true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left the weather it was so dry
The sun so hot I froze to death Suzanna don't you cry

Oh Suzanna don't you cry for me
I've come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night when everything was still
I thought I saw Suzanna dear a comin' down the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth the tear was in her eye
I said I'm comin' from the south Suzanna don't you cry

Oh Suzanna don't you cry for me
I've come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee
