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.
