Verse:
C
I come from Alabama
G
With my banjo on my knee
C
I'm goin' to Louisiana

My true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left
G
The weather it was dry

The sun so hot I froze to death
G C
Susannah don't you cry
Chorus:
F
Oh Susannah
C G
Oh don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama
G C
With a banjo on my knee
Verse:
C
I had a dream the other night
G
When everything was still
C
I thought I saw Susannah

A-coming down the hill
A red red rose was in her hand
G
The tear was in her eye
C
I said I come from Dixie land
G C
Susannah don't you cry

F
Oh Susannah
C G
Oh don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama
G C
With a banjo on my knee

C
I soon will be in New Orleans
G
And then I'll look around
C
And when I find Susannah
G C
I'll fall upon the ground
But if I do not find her

I will surely die
C
And when I'm dead and buried
G C
Susannah don't you cry
Chorus:
F
Oh Susannah
C G
Oh don't you cry for me
C
For I come from Alabama
G C
With a banjo on my knee
