I've come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee I'm goin' to Louisiana my true love for to see It rained all night the day I left the weather it was so dry The sun so hot I froze to death Suzanna don't you cry
Oh Suzanna don't you cry for me I've come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee [ banjo - harmonica ] I had a dream the other night when everything was still I thought I saw Suzanna dear a comin' down the hill The buckwheat cake was in her mouth the tear was in her eye I said I'm comin' from the south Suzanna don't you cry
