Alabama
I come from Alabama and I’ve travelled to the North
And I hope to be back home again before July the fourth
Oh Susannah don't you cry for meI come from Alabama and that's soon where I will be There’s an Alabama maiden on her mother’s front-porch swing Who is smiling as she tots up all the presents I might bring
Oh Susannah don't you cry for me I come from Alabama and that's soon where I will be When they are all opened and she has assessed their worth I hope that she will make me the most happy man on earth
Oh Susannah don't you cry for me I come from Alabama and that's soon where I will be 'How dare you insult me with this pile of worthless trash' And I can rush to savour Mother’s fried chicken and mash
Oh Susannah don't you cry for me I come from Alabama and that's soon where I will be I come from Alabama and every month or three I have to thwart some maiden who has designs on me
Oh Susannah don't you cry for me I come from Alabama and that's soon where I will be If I ever find a maiden with a plump and smiling mouth I will keep her right beside me as we travel through the South
Oh Susannah don't you cry for me I come from Alabama and that's soon where I will be
If I ever find a maiden with a plump and smiling mouth I will keep her right beside me as we travel through the South
Oh Susannah don't you cry for me I come from Alabama and that's soon where I will be
Oh Susannah don't you cry for meI come from Alabama and that's soon where I will be There’s an Alabama maiden on her mother’s front-porch swing Who is smiling as she tots up all the presents I might bring
