lyrics

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

Oh Susanna, don't you cry for me
But I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

I hopped aboard the telegraph and traveled down the river
The electric fluid magnified with all that we could giv'er
The bull jumped up, the horse ran off, I really thought I'd die
So I shut my eyes to hold my breath. Susanna don't you cry

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still
And I thought I saw Susanna there a commin down that hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye
So I said, I'm commin from the South. Susanna, don't you cry

Soon I'll be in New Orleans and then I'll look around
If at last I find Susanna I will fall upon the ground
But if I should never find her then I think I'll surely die
When I'm dead and gone and buried then, Susanna don't you cry
