Alabama Bound Lyrics by Ramblin’ Jack Elliott

Jack Elliott Sings

1957

Well the preacher got drunk
He throwed his Bible down
He told the congregation
I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound
I'm Alabama bound
If the train don't run
I've got a mule to ride
Well I've been in New York City
And I've been in New York town
Good Lord I've been in the mountains
With the blues all around
Well I jumped in the river
And I started to drown
I spied a red headed woman
Good Lord I couldn't go down
