A                                    E
Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,
    A                                E      A
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
   A                                                   E
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
    A                                     E         A
The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry.


D            A                 E
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
      A
For I come from Alabama,
              E     A
with my banjo on my knee.


  A                                               E
I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
  A                            E      A
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill,
    A                                                    E
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye,
  A                                       E         A
I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry.


D            A                 E
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
      A
For I come from Alabama,
              E     A
with my banjo on my knee.


  A                                                E
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around
    A                                      E       A
And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon the ground.
    A                                           E
But if I do not find her, this darkey'll surely die,
    A                                 E         A
and when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry.


D            A                 E
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
      A
For I come from Alabama,
              E     A
with my banjo on my knee.
