Oh, I come from Alabama
with a banjo on my knee,
And I’m going to Lou’s-iana
where my true love waits for me,
It rained all night the day I left,
the weather it was dry,
The sun so hot, it chilled my bones,
Susanna don’t you cry,
Oh, Susanna,
Oh, don’t you cry for me,
I come from Alabama
with a banjo on my knee,

Oh, I come from Alabama
with a banjo on my knee,
And I’m going to Lou’s-iana
where my true love
waits for me,
Everybody now!
Oh, Susanna,
Oh, don’t you cry for me,
Oh, I come from Alabama
with a banjo on my knee,
With a banjo on my knee,
Yeehaw!
