G
I came from Alabama
A7 D7
wid my banjo on my knee,
G
I'm g'wan to Louisiana,
Em D7 G
My true love for to see,
G
It rain'd all night the day I left
A7 D7
The weather it was dry,
G
The sun so hot I frose to death
Em D7 G
Susanna don't you cry.
Chorus :
C G A7 D7
Oh! Susanna Oh! Don't you cry for me
G Em D7 G
I've come from Alabama wid mi banjo on my knee.
G
I had a dream de odder night,
A7 D7
When ebery ting was still;
G
I thought I saw Susanna,
Em D7 G
A coming down de hill.
G
The buckwheat cake war in her mouth,
A7 D7
The tear was in her eye,
G
Says I, I'm coming from de South,
Em D7 G
Susanna, don't you cry.
Chorus
G
I soon will be in New Orleans,
A7 D7
And den I'll look all round,
G
And when I find Susanna,
Em D7 G
I'll fall upon the ground.
G
But if I do not find her,
A7 D7
Dis darkie'l surely die,
G
And when I'm dead and buried,
Em D7 G
Susanna, don't you cry.
Chorus
