I had a dream the other night When everything was still I dreamed I saw Susannah Coming down the hill Oh oh oh, Susannah Don’t you cry for me ’Cause I come from Alabama With my B-A-N-J-O on my knee The buckwheat cake was in her mouth The tear was in her eye Says I, “I’m coming from the south Susanna, don’t you cry.” Oh oh oh, Susannah Don’t you cry for me ’Cause I come from Alabama With my B-A-N-J-O on my knee It rained all night the day I left The weather it was dry The sun so hot, I froze to death Susannah, don't you cry Oh oh oh, Susannah Don't you cry for me ’Cause I come from Alabama With my B-A-N-J-O on my knee I come from A-la-ba-ma With my ban-jo on my knee I’m going to Lou-i-siana My true love for to see Oh oh oh, Susannah Don’t you cry for me ’Cause I come from Alabama With my B-A-N-J-O on my knee
