(Oh Susannah)
I've come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
I've come to Louisiana my true love for to see
It rained so hard the day I met
The weather, it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death
Susannah, don't you cry

Oh Susannah, oh don't you cry for me
Oh I've come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night when everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna coming down the hill
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
A tear was in her eye
Says I, I'm coming from the south
Susannah, don't you cry

Oh Susannah, oh dont you cry for me
Oh I've come from Alabama with a banjo on my kneww

(Susanna)

Give me a song
A song that feels
And give me a voice
A voice that heals
Yes give me a song to sing
When the earth bends
And give me the ear to hear where this story ends
So I can

Sing to Susanna
Sing to Susanna
For all that it's worth
Sing to Susanna
Sing to Susanna
Whenever it hurts
And she might just hear this song
And she might just sing along
Susanna

I saw her walking down that hill
And I keep on thinking that she will
Yes I keep on thinking that she will walk right up to me
But I know that she is where she chooses to be
Oh Susanna

Sing to Susanna
Sing to Susanna
To know what you're worth
Sing to Susanna
Sing to Susanna
Come home when it hurts
And I pray you'll hear this song
Cause I know you'll sing along
Susanna

I've come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
I've come to Louisiana...
I've come to set you free
