well i went to a turkey roast down the street
the people down there eat like wild geese
i’m on my way i’m goin’ back to alabam’
talk about yer people have a whale of a time
eatin’ up chicken’ and drinkin’ their wine
i’m on my way i’m goin’ back to alabam’
now some folks say a tramp won’t steal
but i caught three in my corn field
i’m on my way i’m goin’ back to alabam’
one had a bushel and the other had a peck
one had a roast’n’ ear tied round his neck
i’m on my way i’m goin back to alabam’
there comes sal walkin’ down the street
with run down shoes tied to her feet
good mornin’ honey stand over there baby
get over there now
hello sal i know you
with a run down slipper and a tore up shoe
i’m on my way i’m goin’ back to alabam’
when i get ready to leave this earth
i’m gonna look on my money’s worth
i’m on my way i’m goin’ back to alabam’
i’m goin back to alabam’
