Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,
CGC
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
CG
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
CGC
The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry.
FCG
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
C
For I come from Alabama,
GC
with my banjo on my knee.
CG
I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
CGC
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill,
CG
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye,
CGC
I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry.
FCG
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
C
For I come from Alabama,
GC
with my banjo on my knee.
CG
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around
CGC
And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon the ground.
CG
But if I do not find her, this darkey'll surely die,
CGC
and when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry.
FCG
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
C
For I come from Alabama,
GC
with my banjo on my knee.
