Lyrics:
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
Don't ya leave me here (Now don't ya leave me here)
Don't ya leave me here (Now don't ya leave me here)
And if you will go anyhow
Give me a dime for bail (Give me a dime for bail)
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
You ought-a be like me (You ought-a be like me)
You ought-a be like me (You ought-a be like me)
----incomprehensible----
and let that King gone be
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
The preachers in the stand (The preachers in the stand)
Pass his hand around (Pass his hand around)
Singing brothers and sisters shoot your money to me
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
Oh that preacher preach (Oh that preacher preach)
Ssisters they turned around (Sisters they turned around)
Yes n' the deacons' in the corner holler sweet gal
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabama bound (I'm Albama bound)

version 3
Mostly the same guitar riff plays all the way through, on the first
play through, during the spoken intro, he plays

E|--------------------------------|
adding an extra note on the D string that he then drops and adds
as his genius sees fit.
Also, the song slowly speeds up as he plays,
Like a train leaving the station, Like speeding up, the closer you
get to home.
If you like it, look at it, love it or hate it
RATE IT !
