Johnny Cash, Flatt & Scruggs, Papa Charlie Jackson - I'm Alabama Bound Songtexte

Stood on the corner: Feet got soaking wet

I was hollering and crying to every brown: To hell I'm
At
I'm alabama bound: I'm alabama bound

Then if you want me to love you babe: You got to leave
This town
When the rooster crowed: The hen looked around

Said if you want me to love you babe: You got to run
Me down
Look here pretty mama: Who can your regular be

Says the reason I'm *blacking out stalling* babe: You
Been so good to me

There's a preacher in the pulpit: Bible in his hand
And the sisters was back in the amen corner: Hollering
That's my man

Now the boat's up the river: Can't be floated down
But she's *way on south* now darling babe: Alabama
Bound

Just like a beefsteak beefsteak: Ain't got no bone
Then if a man like a good brownskin woman now babe: He
Ain't got no home

Elder green's in town: And he's going around
And he's telling all the sisters and the brothers he
Meets: He's alabama bound

Now don't you leave me here: Don't you leave me here
Just before you and your partner get ready to go:
Leave a dime for beer
