I had a dream the other night,

When everything was still;

I thought I saw Susanna dear,
A-coming down the hill.

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth,

The tear was in her eye,

Said I, I'm coming from the south,

Susanna don't you cry.

Oh! Susanna, don't you cry for me;
I come from Alabama,
with my banjo on my knee.

I soon will be in New Orleans,
And then I'll look all 'round,

And when I find Susanna,

I'll fall upon the ground.

But if I do not find her,

Then I will surely die,

And when I'm dead and buried,

Susanna don't you cry.

Oh! Susanna,
don't you cry for me;

I come from Alabama,

with my banjo on my knee.
