Well, I went to a turkey roast down the street People down there eatin like wild geese I’m on my way. I’m going back. To Alabam Talk about the people having a whale of a time Eatin up the chicken & drinkin the wine I’m on my way I’m going back to Alabam Now, some folks say that a tramp won’t steal But I found three in my cornfield I’m on my way I’m going back to Alabam One had a bushel the other had a peck One had a roasted ear tied around his neck I’m on my way I’m going back to Alabam Here comes Sal walking down the street With the run down shoes tied on her feet Good morning honey stand over there baby get over there now Hello Sal, I know you With the run down slipper & the tore up shoe I’m on my way I’m going back to Alabam When I get ready to leave this earth I’m gonna look back to my money’s worth I’m on my way I’m going back to Alabam Yes I’m going back to Alabam
