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