I'm [ A ] going to Louisiana, My [ E ] true love for to [ A ] see.

[ A ] It rained all night The day I left The weather it was [ E ] dry,
The [ A ] sun so hot, I froze to death Su [ E ] sanna don't you [ A ] cry.

[ D ] Oh, Susanna, Oh [ A ] don't you cry for [ E ] me
For I [ A ] come from Alabama With my [ E ] banjo on my [ A ] knee.
