| I came from Alabama wid my banjo on my knee, I'm g'wan to Louisiana, My true love for to see, It raind all night the day I left The weather it was dry, The sun so hot I frose to death Susana dont you cry. [Chorus] Oh! Susana Oh! dont you cry for me I've come from Alabama wid mi ban jo on my knee. [Solo] I jumped aboard de telegraph, And trabbelled down de riber, De Lectric fluid magnified, And Killed five Hundred Nigger De bullgine buste, de horse run off, I realy thought I'd die; I shut my eyes to hold my breath, Susana, dont you cry. [Chorus] Oh! Susana Oh! dont you cry for me I've come from Alabama wid mi ban jo on my knee. [Solo] I had a dream de odder night, When ebery ting was still; I thought I saw Susana, A coming down de hill. The buckwheat cake war in her mouth, The tear was in her eye, Says I, im coming from de South, Susana, dont you cry. [Chorus] Oh! Susana Oh! dont you cry for me I've come from Alabama wid mi ban jo on my knee. [Solo] I soon will be in New Orleans, And den I'll look all round, And when I find Susana, I'll fall upon the ground. But if I do not find her, Dis darkie 'l surely die, And when I'm dead and buried, Susana, dont you cry. [Chorus] Oh! Susana Oh! dont you cry for me I've come from Alabama wid mi ban jo on my knee.
