Alabama Bound (trad.)


I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound

Oh, don't you leave me here (2x)
But if you mus go anyhow
Just leave a dime for beer.

Oh don't you be like me (2x)
Drink your good sweet cherry wine
And let that whiskey be.

Oh well the bread is gone
Oh well the gravy's gone
And they're still standin' in that line
With their long clothes on

Alabama Bound (Leadbelly)


I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound

Oh, don't you leave me here
Oh, don't you leave me here
But if you must go anyhow
Just leave a dime for beer

Oh don't you be like me
Oh don't you be like me
Drink your good sweet cherry wine
And let that whiskey be

Well your hair don't curve
And your eyes ain't blue
Well if you don't want me, Polly Ann
Well I don't want you
