Verse 1

From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That has brightened my pathway awhile

Verse 2
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loves you so true

Verse 3

Won’t you think of the valley you’re leaving
O how lonesome, how sad it will be?
O think of the fond heart you’re breaking
Every grief you are causing to me.

Verse 4
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the Red River Valley
And the cowboy who loves you so true
And the cowboy who loves you so true

Verse 1
Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see
It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
Sun so hot I froze to death
Susanna, don't you cry

Chorus
Oh, Susanna
Don't you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee

Verse 2
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I dreamed I saw my girl Susanne
She was coming around the hill

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth
A tear was in her eye
I said I come from Dixie girl
Suzanna, don't you cry

Chorus
Oh, Susanna
Now, don't you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee
Yeah Oh, Susanna
Now, don't you cry for me
‘Cause I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee

Here’s a storyFor you allYou won’t believe it
That’s for sureBut I tell the truth
That stings my heart
Of gorgeous queen
And a lonesome bard
She fell in love with me
That’s how I almost
Became a king
I travelled far
My road was long
I played my luteAnd sang my songs
Then one nightIn walks a queen
Hair, dress, everything
She looked me with
Her pretty eyesI’ve never seen
Such lovely smile
She danced until the dawn
That’s how I almost
Seized the throne
As soon as sun began to rise
King sent his royal spies
She could not resist my charms
She almost fell into my armsI tell you all, I wouldn’t lieI fled the scene in a nick of time
Still today I singHow I almostBecame your king

I was born in a town
Northwest from here
Born as a princeOne day to be kingBut my heart
Yearned for something more
So I gave up my throne
I am the wanderer
World is my wayI am the wanderer
There’s no place I’ll stay
I am the wanderer
I’ve always lookAs far as eye can see
I am freeI am the wanderer
Since thenI’ve traveled far and wide
Never looking backI’ve seen the wondersOf the worldMountains and caverns black
People often said“You fool, you could’ve been a king”
But to meIt don’t mean a thing
