Текст песни I'm Alabama Bound - Papa Charlie Jackson

Stood on the corner, feet got soaking wet
I was hollering and crying to every brown, to hell I'm at

I'm Alabama bound, I'm Alabama bound
Then if you want me to love you babe, you got to leave this town

When the rooster crowed, the hen looked around
Said if you want me to love you babe, you got to run me down

Look here pretty mama, who can your regular be
Says the reason I'm blacking out stalling babe, you been so good to me

There's a preacher in the pulpit, Bible in his hand
And the sisters was back in the amen corner, hollering that's my man

Now the boat's up the river, can't be floated down
But she's way on south now darling babe, Alabama bound

Just like a beefsteak beefsteak, ain't got no bone
Then if a man like a good brownskin
Woman now babe, he ain't got no home

Elder Green's in town, and he's going around
And he's telling all the sisters and
The brothers he meets, he's Alabama bound

Now don't you leave me here, don't you leave me here
Just before you and your partner
Get ready to go, leave a dime for beer
