Going To Move To Alabama Lyrics by Charley Patton

Screamin ‘And Hollerin’ The Blues (The World Of Charley Patton)

0

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' to move to Alabama, I'm goin' to move to Alabama
I'm goin' to move to Alabama, make Georgia be your home
[Verse 2]
Ah, she's long and tall
The way she do the boogie makes a panther squall
I have to move to Alabama, I have to move to Alabama
I have to move to Alabama to make Georgia be your home
[Verse 3]
I'm going to show you, common women, how I feel
Going to get me another woman before I leave
I'm goin' to move to Alabama, said I will move to Alabama
Said, I will move to Alabama, make Georgia be your home
[Verse 4]
Say, mama got the washboard, my sister got the tub
My brother go the whiskey, mama got the jug
I'm goin' to move to Alabama, I'm a-move to Alabama
I'm a-move to Alabama, make Georgia be your home
[Verse 5]
Well, these evil women sure make me tired
Got a handful of give-me, mouthful of much-obliged
You must've been to Alabama, you must've been to Alabama
You must've been to Alabama to make Georgia be your home
[Verse 6]
Well, I got a woman, she's long and tall
But when she's with me, she makes a panther squall
She gonna move to Alabama, have you been to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama to make Georgia be your home
[Verse 7]
Say, mama and papa going to work
Left my sister standing at the watering trough
Well, have you been to Louisiana, have you been to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama to make Georgia be your home
[Verse 8]
My mama told me
Never lose a woman like she can't love you
Well, have you been to Alabama, have you been to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama to make Georgia be your home
[Verse 9]
I got up this morning, my hat in my hand
Didn't have no other brown, didn't have no man
Well, have you been to Alabama, have you been to Alabama
Have you been to Alabama to make Georgia be your home
