Alabama Lyrics

Oh Alabama

 The devil fools

 with the best laid plan.

 Swing low Alabama

 You got spare change

 You got to feel strange

 And now the moment

 is all that it meant.

 

 Alabama, you got

 the weight on your shoulders

 That's breaking your back.

 Your Cadillac

 has got a wheel in the ditch

 And a wheel on the track

 

 Oh Alabama

 Banjos playing

 through the broken glass

 Windows down in Alabama.

 See the old folks

 tied in white ropes

 Hear the banjo.

 Don't it take you down home?

 

 Alabama, you got

 the weight on your shoulders

 That's breaking your back.

 Your Cadillac

 has got a wheel in the ditch

 And a wheel on the track

 

 Oh Alabama.

 Can I see you

 and shake your hand.

 Make friends down in Alabama.

 I'm from a new land

 I come to you

 and see all this ruin

 What are you doing Alabama?

 You got the rest of the union

 to help you along

 What's going wrong?
