I came from Alabama With my banjo on my knee I'm gwyne to Louisiana My true love for to see It rain'd all the night The day I left The weather it was dry The Sun so hot I froze to death Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna Oh, don't you cry for me I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee I jumped aboard de telegraph And trabbled down de ribber De lectrick fluid magnified And killed five hundred nigger De bullgine bust de horse run off I realy thought I'd die I shut my eyes to hold my breath Susanna don't you cry Oh, Susanna Oh, don't you cry for me I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee I had a dream the odder night When everything was still I thought I saw Susanna A-coming down the hill The buckwheat cake Was in her mouth The tear was In her eye Says I, I'm coming from the south Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna Oh, don't you cry for me I came from Alabama With my banjo on my knee I soon will be in New Orleans And then I'll look around And when I find Susanna I'll fall upon the ground But if I do not find her This darkey'l surely die And when I'm dead and buried Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna Oh, don't you cry for me I came from Alabama With my banjo on my knee Oh, Susanna Oh, don't you cry for me I came from Alabama With my banjo on my knee
