lyrics

Old Alabama

Old Alabama j’ines the state of Floridy x2
At Mobile, lawdy, at Mobile
Old Alabama is hog-killing country x2
E’vy fall, lawdy, e’vy fall
Did you hear bout that water boy gettin drownded? X2
In Mobile Bay, lawdy, in Mobile Bay
Did you hear bout the men all gonna leave you x3
Next pay day, lawdy, next pay day
Did you hear bout Louella Wallace? X3
Poor gal dead, lawdy, poor gal dead Mud
