I come from Alabama with my Banjo on my knee
I'm goin' to Louisiana my true love for 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.

Oh! Susanna, do not cry for me;
I come from Alabama, with my Banjo on my knee.

I jumped aboard the telegraph and traveled down the river,
Electric fluid magnified, and killed five hundred N*gger.
The bullgine bust, the horse ran off, I really thought I'd die;
I shut my eyes to hold my breath Susanna, don't you cry.

Oh! Susanna, do not cry for me;
I come from Alabama, with my Banjo on my knee.

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still;
I thought I saw Susanna dear, a comin' down the hill.
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye,
I says, "I've coming from the South" Susanna, don't you cry.

Oh! Susanna, do not cry for me;
I come from Alabama, with my Banjo on my knee.

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

Oh! Susanna, do not cry for me;
I come from Alabama, with my Banjo on my knee.
