Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

and I'm going to Louisiana Sasannah for to see

Oh Susannah now don't you cry for me

Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

Well it rained so hard the night I left, the weather it was dry

And it was so hot I froze to death, Susannah don't you cry

Oh Susannah now don't you cry for me

Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
