<em>Oh Susanna don't you cry for me </em>

<em>I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Well I had a dream the other night when everything was still </em>

<em>I dreamed I saw Susanna comin 'down the hill </em>

<em>A buckwheat cake was in her mouth. A tear was in her eye </em>

<em>Said I'm comin 'from the south Susanna don't you cry </em>

<em> </em>

<em>(Chorus) </em>

<em>Well I will soon be in New Orleans and when I do arrive </em>
