One, two, three I come from Alabama With the banjo on my knee I'm bound for Louisiana My true love for to see It rained all night the day I left The weather it was dry The sun so hot I froze myself Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna Oh, don't you cry for me I come from Alabama With the banjo on my knee I had a dream the other night When everything was still I dreamt I saw Susanna
Coming up a hill Buckwheat cakes was in her mouth Tears were in her eyes I said I'd come to take her home Susanna don't you cry. Oh, Susanna Oh, don't you cry for me I come from Alabama With the banjo on my knee Oh, Susanna Oh, don't you cry for me I come from Alabama With the banjo on my knee Oh, Susanna Oh, don't you cry for me I come from Alabama With the banjo on my knee
