Alabama Song

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.

Oh, show me the way to the next whisky bar,

Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why!

For we must find the next whisky bar

For if we don't find the whisky bar

I tell you we must die

I tell you we must die

I tell you

I tell you

I tell you we must die!

Oh, moon of Alabama,

We now must say good-bye.

We've lost our good old mamma

And must have whisky, oh you know why!

Oh, moon of Alabama,

We now must say good-bye.

We've lost our good old mamma

And must have whisky, oh you know why!

Oh, show me the way to the next pretty boy,

Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why!

For we must find the next pretty boy,

For if we don't find the next pretty boy

I tell you we must die

I tell you we must die

I tell you

I tell you

I tell you we must die!

Oh, moon of Alabama

We now must say good-bye.

We've lost our good old mamma

And must have boys, oh you know why!

Oh, moon of Alabama

We now must say good-bye.

We've lost our good old mamma

And must have boys, oh you know why!

Oh, show me the way to the next little dollar,

Oh, don't ask why, oh, don't ask why!

For we must find the next little dollar,

For if we don't find the next little dollar

I tell you we must die

I tell you we must die

I tell you

I tell you

I tell you we must die!

Oh, moon of Alabama

We now must say good-bye.

We've lost our good old mamma

And must have dollars, oh you know why!

Oh, moon of Alabama

We now must say good-bye.

We've lost our good old mamma

And must have dollars, oh you know why!

Thank you, thank you very much. Welcome to the New Morning.
