  *++Lyrics:|\\
I came from Alabama\\
Wid my banjo on my knee,\\
I’m g’wan to Louisiana\\
My true love for to see,\\
It rain’d all night the day I left,\\
The weather it was dry,\\
The sun so hot I frose to death;\\
Susanna, don't you cry.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Oh! Susanna, Oh! don't you cry for me,\\
I’ve come from Alabama, wid my banjo on my knee.\\
\\
I jumped aboard de telegraph,\\
And trabbelled down de ribber,\\
De Lectrie fluid magnified,\\
And killed five hundred Nigger\\
De bullgine bust, de horse run off,\\
I realy thought I’d die;\\
I shut my eyes to hold my breath,\\
Susanna, don't you cry.\\
\\
I had a dream de odder night\\
When ebery ting was still;\\
I thought I saw Susanna,\\
A coming down de hill.\\
The buckwheat cake war in her mouth,\\
The tear was in her eye,\\
Says I’m coming from de South,\\
Susanna, don't you cry.\\
\\
I scon will be in New Orleans,\\
And den I’ll look all round,\\
And when I find Susanna,\\
I’ fall upon the ground.\\
But if I do not find her,\\
Dis darkie ’I surely die,\\
And when I’m dead and buried,\\
Susanna, don't you cry.\\
\\
