Alabama Getaway

Thirty-two teeth in a jaw bone

Alabama's tryin' for none

Before I have to hit him

I hope he's got the sense to run

The reason the poor girls love him

Promise them everything

Why they all believe him?

He wears a big diamond ring

Alabama getaway, getaway

Alabama getaway, getaway

Only way to please me

You're just down to leave and walk away

Major-domo Billy Bojangles

Sat down and had a drink with me

Said, "What about Alabama?"

It keeps comin' back to me

I heard your plea in the courthouse

Witness box began to rock and rise

Forty-nine sister states

Had Alabama in their eyes

Alabama getaway, getaway

Alabama getaway, getaway

Only way to please me

You're just down to leave and walk away

Major said, "Why don't we give him

Rope enough to hang himself?"

Don't need to worry the jury

They'll probably take care of themselves

Twenty-third psalm, major-domo

Reserve me a table for three

Down in the valley of the shadow

Just you, Alabama, and me

Alabama getaway, getaway

Alabama getaway, getaway

Only way to please me

You just turned round to leave and walk away

Alabama getaway, getaway

Alabama getaway, getaway

Only way to please me

You just turn round and leave and walk away

Alabama getaway, getaway

Alabama getaway, getaway

Only way to please me

You're just down to leave and walk away

Alabama getaway, getaway

Alabama getaway, getaway

Only way to please me

You're just down to leave and walk away

Alabama getaway, getaway

Alabama getaway, getaway
