A
Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on
E
my knee,
A E
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for
A
to see
A
It rained all night the day I left, the
E
weather it was dry
A
The sun so hot I froze to death;
E A
Susanna, don't you cry.
D A E
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
A
For I come from Alabama,
E A
with my banjo on my knee.
A
I had a dream the other night when
E
everything was still,
A E
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the
A
hill,
A
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the
E
tear was in her eye,
A
I said I'm coming from Dixieland,
E A
Susanna don't you cry.
D A E
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
A
For I come from Alabama,
E A
with my banjo on my knee.
A
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then
E
I'll look around
A
And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll
E A
fall upon the ground.
A
But if I do not find her, this darkey'll
E
surely die,
A
and when I'm dead and buried, Susanna
E A
don't you cry.
D A E
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
A
For I come from Alabama,
E A
with my banjo on my knee.
