[Verse 1]
I had a dream the other night
Everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah
She was coming down the hill

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee

[Verse 2]
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
The tear was in her eye
Says I'm coming from the south
Susannah don't you cry

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee

[Verse 3]
It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
Sun so hot I froze to death
Susannah don't you cry
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee

[Verse 4]
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamed I saw Susannah
She was coming down the hill

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee

[Bridge]
Well I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana
My true love for to see

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, Susannah
Don't you cry for me
'Cause I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
[Outro]
Yeah, I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
Yeah, I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
I come from Alabama with my b-a-n-j-o on my knee
