Well, I come from Alabama
And I′m bound for Louisiana
My own true love for to see
It did rain all night the day I left
The sun was so hot I froze myself
Susanne, don't you go on and cry
Now, don′t you cry for me
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 Susanne
She was coming around the hill
Now, the buckwheat cake was in her mouth
I said, that I come from Dixie land
Susanne, don't you break down and cry
Now, don't you cry for me
′Cause I come from Alabama
