Well, [bad word] from Alabama
with a banjo on my knee
Well, I'm heading on earth at old Missisipi
Got a new woman waiting for me

Oh oh oh Susanna
don't you cry for me
cause' I'm going to Louisiana
with a b a n j o on my knee

Well, it rained so hard the night I left
The wind blew terrible storm
So i'm heading on earth at old Muddy River
Where the sun gonna keep me from home

Oh oh oh Susanna
don't you cry for me
cause' I'm going to Louisiana
with a b a n j o on my knee

Well, now now one of these morning
And it won't be at long
You gonna Wake up little Suzy
You're gonna find me gone

Wow! Oh, Susanna
don't you cry for me
cause' I'm going to Louisiana
with a b a n j o on my knee
You know, I'm going to Loisiana
with a banjo on my knee
