I've come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.
I had a dream the other night when everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna dear a-comin' down the hill
the red red rose was in her hand the tear was in her eye
I said:"I'm comin' from the south Susanna don't you cry."
Ref.:
I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look all 'round
and when I find Susanna I'll fall upon the ground
but if I do not find her then I'll surely die
and when I'm dead and buried Susanna don't you cry.
