O h Alabama; the devil fools with the best laid plans.
Swing low Alabama
You got spare change, you got to feel strange
And now the moment is all that it meant.
Chorus:
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?
Chorus
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 doin'?
Alabama,
You got the rest of the union to help you along
What's goin' wrong? (hold)
