Pirates Of The Mississippi Down And Out In Birmingham
I was workin' my way through North Dakota
Where the days are cold and the nights are colder
Thinkin' bout the girl I left behind
Got Alabama on my mind
So I quit my job and headed home
Back to the girl I call my own
But when I walked through the door
She said' Your love don't live here no more'
Bridge
You guess I would have learned by now
That sweet milk ain't worth the cow
Ain't it strange what a woman can do
Drive you crazy before she's through
Chorus
Now I'm down and out in Birmingham
That ol' bad love done broke this man
Down and out in Birmingham
Just fightin' the blues in Alabam
