Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee  And I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see  It did rain all night the day I left  The weather was bone dry  The sun was so hot I froze myself  Suzanne, don't you go on and cry  I said, Oh, Suzannah  Now, don't you cry for me  As I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee  Well I had myself a dream the other night  When everything was still  I dreamed that I saw my girl Suzanne  She was coming around the hill  Now, the buckwheat cake was in her mouth  A tear was in her eye  I said, that I come from Dixie land  Suzanne, don't you break down and cry  I said, Oh, Suzannah  Now, don't you cry for me  'Cause I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
