By: Stephen C. Foster 1848

Time: 2/4

1-1 2   3   3 -3  3  2
I come from Al-a-bam-a
 1  -1  2  2  -1 1   -1
With a ban-jo on my knee
1-1  2    3   3   -3 3  2
I’m goin’ to Lou’-si-an-a
1  -1  2  2  -1  -1  1
My Su-san-na for to see
1-1   2    3    3
It rained all night
-3   3  2  1
The day I left,
-1    2   2  -1  1  -1
The weath-er it was dry
1-1  2  3   3 -3   3   2    1
The sun so hot I froze to death
-1  2  2   -1   -1   1
Su-san-na don’t you cry
-2  -2 -3  -3  -3   3
Oh! Su-san-na, oh don’t 
 3   2   1  -1
You cry for me
 1 -1  2    3   3 -3  3  2
For I come from Al-a-bam-a
 1  -1  2  2  -1 -1  1
With a ban-jo on my knee
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
