1. I've come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
        G                               D      G
   I'm going to Louisiana my true love for to see
                                                           D
   it rained all night the day I left the weather was so dry
        G                                   D          G
   the sun so hot I froze to death Susanna don't you cry.

   C              G                 D
R: Oh Susanna oh don't you cry for me
         G                              D       G
   I've come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.

2. I had a dream the other night when everything was still
   I thought I saw Susanna dear a-comin' down the hill
   the red red rose was in her hand the tear was in her eye
   I said:"I'm comin' from the south Susanna don't you cry."
R:

3. I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look all 'round
   and when I find Susanna I'll fall upon the ground
   but if I do not find her then I'll surely die
   and when I'm dead and buried Susanna don't you cry.
R:
