Alabama Blues Lyrics

Robert Wilkins Alabama Blues

I tell you girls : and I'm going to tell you now


If you don't want me : please don't dog me around


My home ain't here : it's in most any old town

I'm going up on the mountain : and look down in the sea


*Troubling* alligators : keeps doing that shivaree

Tell me friends : ever since that *pull in Jackson
maid*


Kansas City Missouri : has been her regular trade

??? : that is turning around and around


The churn‑wheel knocking : friends I'm Alabama bound

My mama told me : and papa told me too


Say brownskin women son : going to be the death of you

I told mama last night friends : and papa the night
before


If brownskin women kills me : mama let me go

When I leaves that time mama : I won't be back no more


I ain't coming back here : to worry your papa so

I walked off : and left my mother standing in the snow


She's crying to me son : please son don't you go
