Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
A7+ Bm7 C#m7 F#m7 Bm7 Bm7/E A9
And I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see
A7+ Bm7 C7+ F#m7
It did rain all night the day I left
A F#m7 Bm7
The weather was bone dry
A7+ Bm7 C#m7 F#m7
The sun was so hot I froze myself

Suzanne don't you break down and cry
A F#m7 Bm7
Now don't you cry for me

As I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
A7+ Bm7 C#m7 F#m7
Well I had myself a dream the other night
A F#m7 Bm7
When everything was still
A7+ Bm7 C#m7 F#m7
I dreamed that I saw my girl Suzanne
Bm7 Bm7/E A9
She was coming around the hill
A7+ Bm7 C#m7 F#m7
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
A F#m7 Bm7
A tear was in her eye
A7+ Bm7 C#m7 F#m7
I said that I come from Dixie land
Bm7 Bm7/E A9
Suzanne don't you break down and cry
A F#m7 Bm7
Now don't you cry for me

As I come from Alabama with a bajo on my knee
