Alabama

Oh, Alabama, the devil fools with the best laid plan

Swing low, Alabama

You got the 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?
