I came from Al-a-bam-a with my ban-jo on my knee,
I'm going to Lou'-si-an-a my true love for to see.

O Su-san-na, O don't you cry for me,
For I've come from Al-a-bam-a with my ban-jo on my knee.

It rained all night the day I left, the weath-er it was dry,
The sun so hot I froze to death, Su-san-na don't you cry.

\Va{%
I had a dream the the other night, when everything was still; \par
I thought I saw Susanna, acoming down the hill; \par
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye, \par
Says I, I'm coming from the South, Susanna, don't you cry! \par
O, Susanna\ldots
}
\V{%
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look all 'round, \par
And when I find Susanna, I'll fall upon the ground. \par
But if I do not find her, I'm surely bound to die, \par
And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, don't you cry! \par
O, Susanna\ldots
