I'M ALABAMMY BOUND
(Huddie Ledbetter / Lonnie Donegan)

Lonnie Donegan


I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)
I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)

Well, don't you leave me here,
Don't you leave me here
And if you must go sweet Polly-Anne
Well leave a dime for beer

I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)
I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)

Well yeah! The Preacher preached
Passed his hat around
Cryin' brothers and sisters leave your money to me
I'm Alabammy bound

I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)
I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)

Oh well your hair don't curl
And your eyes ain't blue
Well if you don't want me sweet Polly-Anne
Ah well I don't want you

I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)
I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabammy bound, (I'm Alabammy bound)

I'm Alabammy bound, I'm Alabammy bound
I'm Alabammy bound, (Fade)
