(Modernized 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 - Susanna, don't you cry. Oh! Susanna, don't you cry for me I come from Alabama, with a Banjo on my knee.
