Alabam
Written and recorded by Cowboy Copas
CWell I A7went to a turkey roast down the street
The people down there eat like wild geese
I'm on my D7way I'm going G7back to AlaCbam 
Talk A7about your people have a whale of a time
Eating up chicken and drinking their wine  
I'm on my D7way I'm going G7back to AlaCbam 
Now A7some folks say that a tramp won't steal
But I caught three in my corn field  
I'm on my D7way I'm going G7back to AlaCbam 
One A7had a bushel and the other had a peck
One had a roasting ear tied around his neck  
I'm on my D7way I'm going G7back to AlaCbam 
There A7comes Sal walking down the street
With a run down shoes tied on her feet
Good Morning D7honey stand over there G7baby
Get over there Cnow 
Hello A7Sal I know you
With a run down slipper and a tore up shoe  
I'm on my D7way I'm going G7back to AlaCbam 
When A7I get ready to leave this earth
I'm gonna look back on my money's worth  
I'm on my D7way I'm going G7back to AlaCbam 
I'm going G7back to AlaCbam
