Verse 1
Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
Sun so hot I froze to death
Susanna, don't you cry

Chorus
Oh, Susanna
Don't you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee

Verse 2
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamed I saw my girl Susanne
She was coming around the hill

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
A tear was in her eye
I said I come from Dixie girl
Suzanna, don't you cry

Chorus
Oh, Susanna
Now, don't you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee
Yeah Oh, Susanna
Now, don't you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee

You don’t believe what the people are saying You got love but you don’t know the way I come along but you shove me aside So every little thing turns out the same And though you don’t believe in much dear I can’t believe what the people say I light it up every time you’re near It’s all because of you anyway
You’re all I want You’re all my in between You’re all I need
You come on up when I get down You fool around when the lights go out And though you don’t make it easy It’s all the best of you every day
You’re all I want You’re all my in between You’re all I need You’re all I want You’re all my in between You’re all I need
You don’t believe what the people are saying You got love but you don’t know the way And though you don’t believe in much dear It’s all because of you every way
You’re all I want You’re all my in between You’re all I need You’re all I want You’re all my in between You’re all I need

Drown me out, I can’t hear you nowMy body left my heart when you left the roomDon’t look at the time, don’t look at your phoneJust follow me outta here into the unknownHelp me waste our time
I’m calling you up, I’m telling you nowThat I can’t go on this wayHey hey hey, what do you say to thisYou and I forever lost in usHere comes the sunAnd honey we’re still young
Help me out, I can’t bear this nowThe loneliness has broken me in twoAm I fool? Am I a fool for you?The only thing that keeps me hereIs knowing there’s a chance that you couldHelp me waste our time
I’m calling you up, I’m telling you nowThat I can’t go on this wayHey hey hey, what do you say to thisYou and I forever lost in usHere comes the sunAnd honey we’re still young
I’m calling you up, I’m telling you nowThat I can’t go on this wayHey hey hey, what do you say to thisYou and I forever lost in usHere comes the sunHere comes the sunAnd honey we’re still young

Oh now,Oh now,

Hmmm.

He’s grown too big for his boots
Can’t swing a cat before he shoots
Fly over here, I’ll hide in there
Take a swig of beer and he’ll fly again,
To maybe who knows where?

So why don’t we take off and fly there?
Why don’t we fall in and dive out?
Why don’t we sit back again?

They’ve gone away and left the dog
Walk in and find he’d laid a log
Wake up the mail man’s stole your milk
We drink up. We all together will,
Not long, but still…

I’ll only let you down again
Like I did before
Treat you like a clown again
You don’t need this no more
You should know by now
Just what I am
You’ve heard it all before, the last time
I’ll only make you cry again
Like I did before
I’ll only tell you lies again
You shouldn’t take it no more
You should know by now
Just who I am

You’ve seen it all before, the last time

I’ll only make you smile again
Like I did before
Make it all worthwhile again
Then maybe more
You should know by now
Just what I am

I promised you before, the last time

You fall in love with me again
Like you did before
But when I’m not who you want me to be again
You won’t love me no more

If you don’t know by now, just who I am
You’ve heard it all before, you’ve seen it all before, we’ve done all this before, the last time

And I don’t think we should go through all this again
