A5 E5 Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee, A5 E5 A5 I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see A5 E5 It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry A5 E5 A5 The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry. D5 A5 E5 Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me A5 For I come from Alabama, E5 A5 with my banjo on my knee. A5 E5 I had a dream the other night when everything was still, A5 E5 A5 I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill, A5 E5 The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye, A5 E5 A5 I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry. D5 A5 E5 Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me A5 For I come from Alabama, E5 A5 with my banjo on my knee. A5 E5 I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around A5 E5 A5 And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon the ground. A5 E5 But if I do not find her, this darkey'll surely die, A5 E5 A5 and when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry. D5 A5 E5 Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me A5 For I come from Alabama, E5 A5 with my banjo on my knee.
