Alabama Getaway Lyrics By Grateful Dead

    thirty two teeth in a jawbone
    alabama’s tryin’ for none
    before i have to hit him i hope he’s got the sense to run
    reason the poor girls love him
    promise them everything
    why they all believe him he wears a big diamond ring
    run run

    alabama getaway getaway
    alabama getaway getaway
    only way to please me just get down and leave and walk away

    major domo billy bojangles
    sat down and had a drink with me
    said what about alabama that keeps acoming back to me
    i heard your plea in the courthouse
    witness box began to rock and rise
    fortynine sister states had alabama in their eyes
    run run

    alabama getaway getaway
    alabama getaway getaway
    only way to please me just get down and leave and walk away

    major said why don’t we give him rope enough to hang himself
    no need to worry the jury
    they’ll probably take care of themselves
    twentythird psalm major domo
    reserve me a table for three
    down in the valley of the shadow just you alabama and me
    run run

    alabama getaway getaway
    alabama getaway getaway
    only way to please me just get down and leave and walk away
    alabama getaway getaway
    alabama getaway getaway
    only way to please me just get down and leave and walk away
    alabama getaway getaway
    alabama getaway getaway
    only way to please me just get down and leave and walk away
    alabama getaway getaway
    alabama getaway getaway
    only way to please me just get down and leave and walk away
    alabama getaway getaway
    alabama getaway getaway
    fade
