  • Well I come from Alabama
    with my banjo on my knee
    and I'm bound for Louisiana,
  • my own true love for to see.
    It did rain all night the day I left,
    the weather was bone dry.
  • The sun was so hot I froze myself,
    Suzanne, don't you go on and cry.
    I said, oh, Susannah, now,
  • don't you cry for me,
    as I come from Alabama
    with this banjo on my knee.
  •  
    Well I had myself a dream the other night
    when everything was still,
  • I dreamed that I saw my girl Suzanne,
    she was comin' around the hill.
    Now, the buckwheat cake was in her mouth,
  • a tear was in her eye.
    I said that I come from Dixieland,
    Suzanne, don't you break down and cry.
  • I said, oh, Susannah, now,
    don't you cry for me,
    as I come from Alabama
  • with my banjo on my knee.
     
     
  • This song features two guitar tracks. Both in standard tuning.
    For the 1st one you must use a capo on the 3rd fret. It is used
    the whole song through and it is played in A, matching the other
  • one in C, for which you don't need the capo. This 2nd one is
    played just in the Intro and Outro.
