   me.            For I    come from A-       la-  bama      with     my   banjo     on   my    knee.

[Lyrics] I come from Alabama, With my banjo on my knee. I'm going 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, Susannah, don't you cry. I had a dream the other night, When everything was still I dreamed I saw Susannah dear, A-coming down the hill. The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, The tear was in her eye. Says I, “I'm coming from the south, Susannah, don't you cry.” ************************************ | (1) Play only in 2nd pass | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | / Slide up | \ Slide down ************************************
