Alabama Blues - Robert Wilkins
I'll tell you girl
I'm gonna tell you now
If you don't want me
Please don't dog me around
If you don't want me
Don't dog me around
My home ain't here
It's in most any old town
My home ain't here
It's in most any old town
My home ain't here
It's most any old town
I'm goin' up on a mountain
And look down on the sea
Saw a bullyin' alligator
She was doin' that shivaree
Saw a bullyin' alligator
Doin' the shivaree
Tell me friend
Ever since that bullyin'
Stack been made
Kansas City Missouri
Has been her regular trade
Kansas City Missouri
Been her regular trade
The Kate's in the bend
The Stack is turnin' around and 'round
The stern wheel knockin'
Friend I'm Alabama bound
The stern wheel knockin'
I'm Alabama bound
My mama told me
An' old papa told me too
Said "Brownskin women son
Gonna be the death of you"
Said "Brownskin women
Gonna be the death of you"
I told mama last night friends
And papa the night before
"If brownskin women kill me
Mama let me go"
"If brownskin women kill me
Mama let me go"
When I leave you that time mama
I won't be back no more
When I leave you that time mama
I won't be back no more
When I leave you that time mama
I won't be back no more
I ain't coming back here
To worry your papa so
I won't coming back here
To worry your papa so
I won't coming back here
To worry your papa so
I walked off
And left my mother standing in the snow
She's crying to me son
Please son don't you go
She's crying to me son
Please son don't you go
