Oh alabama
the devil fools with the best laid plan.
swing low alabama
you got spare change
you got to feel strange
and now the moment is all that it meant.
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?
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.
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 doing alabama?
you got the rest of the union to help you along
what's going wrong?
