I came from Alabama with my banjo on my knee, I'm goin' to Lou'siana, my true love for to see.
It rain'd all night the day I left, The weather it was dry; the sun so hot I frose to death; Susanna, don't you cry.
Oh! Susanna, oh, don't you dry for me, for I'm goin' to Lou'siana with my banjo on my knee.

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still: I thought I saw Susanna acoming down the hill.
The buckwheat cake was in the her mouth, the tear was in her eye: says I, I'm coming from the south, Susanna, don't you cry
Oh! Susanna, oh, don't you dry for me, for I'm goin' to Lou'siana with my banjo on my knee.
