I came from Alabama,
With my banjo on my knee,
I'm going up to Louisiana
For my true love to see.
It rained all night the day I left,
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot, I froze to death
Susanna don't you cry.

Refrain:
Oh! Susanna,
Oh don't you cry for me,
I've come from Alabama,
With my banjo on my knee.

I had a dream the other night
When ev'rything was still
I thought I saw Susanna
A-comin 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.

Refrain:

3. I soon will be in New Orleans,
And den I'll look around,
And when I find Susanna,
I'll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her,
Dis darkey'll surely die,
And when I'm dead and buried,
Susanna don't you cry.

Refrain:
