D A7
Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
D A7 D
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
D A7
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
D A7 D
The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry
G D A7
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
D
For I come from Alabama
A7 D
With my banjo on my knee
D A7
I had a dream the other night when everything was still
D A7 D
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill
D A7
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye
D A7 D
I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry
G D A7
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
D
For I come from Alabama
A7 D
With my banjo on my knee
D A7
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around
D A7 D
And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon the ground
D A7
But if I do not find her, this darkey'll surely die
D A7 D
And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry
G D A7
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
D
For I come from Alabama
A7 D
With my banjo on my knee
