I came from Alabama,
D7
Wid my banjo on my knee,
G
I'm going to Louisiana,
D7 G
My true love for to see;
G
It rain'd all night the day I left,
D7
The weather it was dry,
G
The sun so hot, I froze to death,
D7 G
Susanna don't you cry.

Oh! Susanna,
G D7
Oh don't you cry for me,
G
I've come from Alabama
D7 G
Wid my banjo on my knee.
G
I had a dream the other night
D7
When every thing was still,
G
I thought I saw Susanna
D7 G
A coming down the hill;
G
The buck-wheat cake was in her mouth,
D7
The tear was in her eye;
G
Says I, "I'm coming from the South
D7 G
Susanna don't you cry."
Ref.:
G
I soon will be in New Orleans,
D7
And then I'll look around,
G
And when I find Susanna,
D7 G
I will fall upon the ground.
G
And if I do not find her,
D7
Dis darkie'll surely die,
G
And when I'm dead and buried,
D7 G
Susanna, don't you cry.
