Alabama Getaway
Alabama Getaway
[E D A7 (C A C A)]
[A7]
32 teeth in a jawbone,
[A7]
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.
CHORUS:
[A7]
Alabama getaway, getaway.
[D]
Alabama getaway, getaway,
[E]
Only way to please me,
[D (C A C A) x2]
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.
{CHORUS}
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.
{CHORUS}
