- Verse:
- Good -bye, blues
- Bird -ies are sing -in'
ev -'ry old thing in tune,
- Good -bye, blues
- Noth -in' but laugh -ter
morn -n' and af -ter -noon
- Saw a rose -bud in a store
- So I'm go -in' where there's
more,
- Good -bye, blues!
- Trou -bles are o -ver I'll
be in clov -er soon:
-
- Chorus:
- I'm Al -a -bam -y bound
- There'll be no "Heeb
-ie Jeeb -ies" hang -in' round,
- Just gave the mean -est
tick -et man on earth all I'm worth
- To put my toot -sies in
an up -per berth
- Just hear that choo choo
sound
- I know that soon we're goin'
to cov -er ground
- And then I'll hol -ler so
the world will know "Here I go"
- I'm Al -a -bam -y bound.
- (Repeat Chorus)
-
- Patter:
- I can hear that choo choo
whis -tle blow,
- Watch that en -gine when
we start to go,
- Now we're in Bal -ti -more
Knock -in' at Dix -ie's door
- What's that, Bill? Lou -is
-ville We passed that be -fore,
- Fields o' cot -ton tell
me where I am
- Hear that fel -ler yell
-in "Al -a -bam"
- Mam -my, Mam -my,
- Get your kiss -es rea -dy
for yo' hon -ey lamb,
-
- Last Chorus:
- I'm just a luck -y hound
- To have some -one to put
my arms a -round
- That's why I'm shout -in'
for the world to know "Here I go"
- I'm Al -a -bam -y bound.
