G A7 D7 I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee G D7 G I'm going to Lousiana, my true love for to see A7 D7 It rained all night the day I left, the weather was so dry G D7 G The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna don't you cry. [Chorus] C G D7 Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me G D7 G I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee. G A7 D7 I had a dream the other night, when everything was still G D7 G I thought I saw Susanna, a'comin' down the hill A7 D7 A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye. G D7 G I'm a'comin' from the South, Susanna don't you cry. [Chorus]
