Текст (с вариантами)
(Фрагмент с ниггерами нынешние политкорректные козлы и недоумки петь боятся, а потому тупо выкидывают слова из песни)

I come from Alabama with my Banjo on my knee-
I'm goin' to Louisiana my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry;
The sun so hot I froze to death-Susanna, don't you cry.

Oh! Susanna, do not cry for me;
I come from Alabama, with my Banjo on my knee.

I jumped aboard the telegraph and traveled down the river,
Electric fluid magnified, and killed five hundred Nigger.
The bullgine bust, the horse ran off, I really thought I'd die;
I shut my eyes to hold my breath - Susanna, don't you cry.

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still;
I thought I saw Susanna dear, a comin' down the hill.
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye,
I says, "I've coming from the South" - Susanna, don't you cry.

I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look all around,
And when I find Susanna, I'll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her, this darkie'll surely die,
And when I'm dead and buried - Susanna, don't you cry.

Modern version

Oh, I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee!
Going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
Oh Susannah! Oh don't you cry for me!
For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death, Susannah don't you cry
Oh Susannah! Oh don't you cry for me!
For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee!

Optional third verse

I had a dream the other night, when everything was still
I thought I saw Susannah dear a-comin' down the hill
A red red rose was in her hand, a tear was in her eye
I said I come from dixieland, Susannah don't you cry!
Oh Susannah! Oh, don't you cry for me!
For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look all around,
And when I find Susanna, I'll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find her,then surely about to die,
And when I'm dead and buried-Susanna, don't you cry.
Oh Susannah! Oh, don't you cry for me!
For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
