I've come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee
I'm goin' Louisiana now my true love for to see
It rained all night the day we left the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death Suzanna don't 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
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth the tear was in her eye
I said I'm comin' from the south Suzanna don't cry
Oh Suzanna don't you cry for me...
