I'm Alabama Bound Lyrics

Papa Charlie Jackson I'm Alabama Bound

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
