Well I come from Alabama

 

With my banjo on my knee

 

And I'm bound for Louisiana

 

My own true love for to see

 

It did rain all night the day I left

 

The weather was bone dry

 

The sun was so hot I froze myself

 

Suzanne don't you go on and cry

 

I said oh Susannah

 

Now don't you cry for me

 

As I come from Alabama

 

With this banjo on my knee

 

Well I had myself a dream the other night

When everything was still

 

I dreamed that I saw my girl Suzanne she was coming

Around the hill

 

Now the buckwheat cake was in her mouth

A tear was in her eye

 

I said that I come from Dixie land Suzanne don't

You break down and cry

I said ohh

Susannah

 

Now don't you cry for me

 

'Cause I come from Alabama

 

With my banjo on my knee
