4-4 5 6 6-6 6 5
I came from Al-a-bam-a
4 -4 5 5 -4 4 -4
with my ban-jo on my knee;
4-4 5 6 6 -6 6 5
I'm goin' to Lou-'si-an-a
4-4 5 5 -4 -4 4
M-y true love for to see.
4-4 5 6 6 -6 6 5 4
I-t rained all night the day I left
-4 5 5 -4 4 -4
The weath-er it was dry;
4 -4 5 6 6 -6 6 5 4
Th-e sun so hot I froze to death,
-4 5 5 -4 -4 4
Su-san-na, don't you cry.
-5 -5 -6 -6 -6 6 6 5 4 -4
Oh, Su-san-na, oh, don't you cry for me;
4 -4 5 6 6-6 6 5
I-ve come from Al-a-bam-a
4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 4
with my ban-jo on my knee.
I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill,
The red, red rose was in her hand, the tear was in her eye,
I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry.
I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look around
And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon the ground
But if I do not find you there, then I will surely die
And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry.
Oh, Susanna,Oh don't you cry for me
I've come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
