32 teeth in a jawbone,

Alabama's trying for none,
E
Before I have to hit him,
D C - A - C - A
I hope he's got the sense to run.
A7
Reason the poor girls love him,
A7
And promise him everything,
E
And why they all believe him?
D C - A - C - A
He wears a big diamond ring.

Alabama getaway, getaway.

Alabama getaway, getaway,
E
Only way to please me,
D C - A - C - A
Just turn ‘round and leave’em, walk away
Major Domo Billy Bojangles
Sat down and had a drink with me,
Said "What about Alabama
That keeps a-coming back to me".
Heard your plea in the courthouse,
The witness box began to rock and rise,
49 sister states all
Had Alabama in there eyes.
Major said why don't we give him
Rope enough to hang himself?
No need to worry the jury,
They’ll prob’ly take care of themselves.
25th psalm Major Domo,
Reserve me a table for three,
Down in the valley of the shadow,
It’s just you, Alabama, and me.
