C5                                            G5
Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
        C5
And I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see
C5
It did rain all night the day I left
                     G5
The weather was bone dry
    C5 
The sun was so hot I froze myself
G5                            C5 
Suzanne, don't you go on and cry
        F5
I said, Oh, Suzannah
     C5                 G5
Now, don't you cry for me
     C5                           G5           C5
As I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee
 
Well I had myself a dream the other night
     G5
When everything was still
  C5
I dreamed that I saw my girl Suzanne
                          G5
She was coming around the hill
         C5
Now, the buckwheat cake was in her mouth
 G5
A tear was in her eye
  C5      
I said, that I come from Dixie land
G5
Suzanne, don't you break down and cry
        C5
I said, Oh, Suzannah
     G5
Now, don't you cry for me
         C5                         G5           C5
'Cause I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
