Lyrics
Big Daddy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who's that a sneaking down the fire escape
Who's that a peekin' through the garden gate
Who's on the loose but can't be found
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound
Police is searching but he can't be found
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound
Somebody ran off with the major's wife
Somebody tried to take the police chief's life
Somebody stalled the judge's ragged old gown
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound...
[ guitar ]
Highway patrol and the FBI is out a huntin' that criminal
They got their hound dogs sniffin' the ground
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound...
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound...
