Oh, [bad word] from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
And I'm going to Loisiana now,
My [bad word] love for to see

Oh, Susanna,
Now don't you cry for me
For [bad word] from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

Oh, it rained all night
The day I left
The weather was so dry
The sun so hot,
I froze to death
Susanna, don't you cry

Oh, Susanna,
Now don't you cry for me
For [bad word] from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna
 [bad word] down the hill

Oh, Susanna,
Now don't you cry for me
For [bad word] from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee

buckwheat cake
Was in her mouth
The tear was
In her eye
Said: [bad word] from Dixieland
Susanna, don't you cry

Oh, Susanna,
Now don't you cry for me
For [bad word] from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
