I'm Alabama bound (2)
And if the train don't stop and turn around,
I'm Alabama bound
Oh, don't you leave me here.
If you will go anyhow,
Just leave a dime for beer. (Chorus)
Elder Green is gone.
He’s way ‘cross this country, sweet gal,
With his long clothes on. He’s Alabama bound etc.
Oh, the preacher preached,
The sisters turned around.
Yes, the deacon’s in the corner hollering, sweet gal,
I’m Alabama bound. (Chorus)
The preacher’s in the stand,
Passing his hands around.
He’s saying, “You brothers and you sisters shoot your money to me,
I’m Alabama bound.” (Chorus)
(additional verse from RCA recording)
You oughta be like me.
You can try your good high test whiskey, boys,
And let that King Corn be.VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
