And I'm going to Louisiana,
It rained all night the day I left,
The sun's so hot I froze to death,
Oh, Susanna, oh, don't you cry for me
I had a dream the other night
when everything was still
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth,
Says I am coming from the South,
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
Well, I soon will be in New Orleans
and then I'll look around
yeah, I'll fall upon the ground
But if I dare not find her,
And when I'm dead and buried,
oh, Susanna, don't you cry
Oh, Susanna, oh, don't you cry for me
Oh, Susanna, oh, don't you cry for me
Yeah, I come from Alabama
