I'm going to [Eb] Louisiana, my [Bb] true love for to see.
When it rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry.
And the [Eb] sun's so hot, I froze through the day, Susanna, [Ebm] don't you cry.
[Ab] Oh, Susanna, [Eb] don't you [Bb] cry for me.
[Eb] When I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.
When I jumped aboard the telegraph and traveled [Bb] down the river,
[Eb] The electric fluid magnified and killed five hundred chairs.
When the bulldozer bust, the horse ran off, I really [Bb] thought I'd die.
[Eb] But she was a nice old friend, Susanna, don't you cry.
Oh, [Ab] Susanna, [Eb] don't you cry for [Bb] me.
[Eb] Now I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee.
Now I had a dream the other night when [Bb] everything was still.
[Eb] And I thought I saw Susanna, she was running down the hill.
Now the muffin cake was in her mouth and a tear was [Bb] in her eye.
[Eb] So I said, I'm coming from the south, Susanna, don't you cry.

But if I can never find her, then I think I'll [Bb] surely die.
