Mickey Newbury Gone To Alabama
Oh lo de lea I am gone to Alabama
Gone to Alabama I am gone to Mobile Leah
All along the bay ladies playin' with their children
Playin' with their children on a lazy summer day
Ships are in the harbor sittin' on the sunset
Sittin' on the sunset like a water color picture
Life was mighty good in the year of '47
It will be like Heaven in the year of '48
Oh de lo de lea I am gone to Alabama
Gone to Alabama I am gone to Mobile Leah
All along the bay ladies playin' with their children
Playin' with their children on a lazy summer day
Oh de lo de lea I am gone to Alabama
Gone to Alabama I am gone to Mobile Leah
All along the bay ladies playin' with their children
Playin' with their children on a lazy summer day
Oh ain't it funny how we always said in times of leaving
Said in times of leaving we'd be coming back some day
How we now find in our time of grieving
What was really leaving was not us but Mobile Bay
Oh di lo de lea I am gone to Alabama
I am gone to Alabama I am gone to Mobile Leah
All along the bay ladies playin' with their children
Playin' with their children on a lazy summer day
