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

On a stormy dayOur journey began
Through treacherous waters
Stronger than any man
Long is the wayAs long as the sea
Battle for freedom
Calls to me
Long is the way
To the land
That sees no day
To a placeOf an endless cry
Where shadows lie
Dark land is near
Time has comeTo face the darkness
To sound the drumsWe’ll show them no mercy
We’ll show them no fearOur battlecryIs the last that they’ll hear
