Down in sunny Alabama
not so very long ago.
Dere I met my Susieannah,
cutest little girl I know,
Appetizin' as de melon
ripennin' upon de vine!
Mighty big my heart was swellin'
when I asked her to be mine!

Be ma honey gal,
ma little Suzieannah,
and I nevah shall
forget old Alabama!
Be ma honey gal
de sun shall always shine,
If yo' only say
yo' little dear heart am mine!

All dat Susieannah answered,
as I held her hand, was "Hush!"
and I kinder, sorter fancied,
I could almost see her blush.
Den I felt upon my shoulder
cunning little kinky head.
And dis made me trifle bolder
louder dan befo' I said:

Be ma honey gal,
ma little Suzieannah,
and I nevah shall
forget old Alabama!
Be ma honey gal
de sun shall always shine,
If yo' only say
yo' little dear heart am mine!
