me. For I come from A- la- bama with my banjo on my knee.
[Lyrics]
I come from Alabama, With my banjo on my knee.
I'm going to Louisiana, My true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left, The weather it was dry.
The sun so hot, I froze to death, Susannah, don't you cry.
I had a dream the other night, When everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah dear, A-coming down the hill.
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, The tear was in her eye.
Says I, “I'm coming from the south, Susannah, don't you cry.”
