alabam

well

i went to a turkey roast down the street

and the people down there are eatin' like wild geese

so i'm on my way i'm goin' back to alabam

well

you talk about your people havin' a lot of time

eatin' up their chickens and drinkin' their wine

i'm on my way i'm goin' back to alabam

now some folks say that a tramp won't steal but i cought three in my corn field

i'm on my way i'm goin' back to alabam

well

one had a bushel and one had a peck

and one had a roast'near tied around his neck

i'm on my way i'm goin' back to alabam

well

there comes sal walkin' down the street

with the run down shoes tied on her feet

i'm on my way i'm goin' back to alabam

well

hello sal now how are you with the run down slipper and tore up shoe

i'm on my way i'm goin' back to alabam

when i get ready to leave this earth i'm goin' back to my money's worth

i'm on my way i'm goin' back to alabam i'm goin' back to alabam
