Well, I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
And I'm going to Louisiana
By my true love to see
Well, it rained so hard the night I left
The weather it was dry
And it was so hot, I froze to death
Susannah, don't you cry
Oh! Susannah
Oh, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
When I jumped aboard the telegraph, And trabbled down the river,
The electric fluid magnified, And killed five hundred nigger.
And when the bull turns bust, the horse run off, I really thought I'd die;
So I shut my eyes to hold my breath, Susanna don't you cry.
Oh! Susannah
Oh, don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
Now I had a dream the other night, When every thing was still
I thought I saw Susanna, she was coming down the hill
Now the buck wheat cake was in her mouth, and the tear was in her eye;
So I said, "I'm coming from the south, Susanna, don't you cry."
Oh! Susannah
Oh, don't you cry for me
Yes, I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee

Now, I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look around
And when I ask where's Susanna
I'll fall off on the ground
But if I could not find her there, I think I will surely die
And when I'm dead and gone and buried too, Susanna don't you cry.
Oh! Susannah
Oh, don't you cry for me
Yes, I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
Oh! Susannah
Oh, don't you cry for me
Yes, I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
