I'm Alabama Bound - Original - Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five

I’m Alabama bound

I’m Alabama bound

Sure as the train pulls out of the yards

I’m gonna leave this town

I’m gonna leave this town

I’m gonna leave this town

I’m tired of your fussin' and fightin' and doggin' me 'round

I’m gonna leave this town

Oh, don’t you leave me here

Oh, don’t you leave me here

If you do, sweet mama

Leave me a dime for beer

Oh, the rooster crowed

And the hen looked 'round

Says, «If you want me to love you

You gotta run me down.»

Oh, the rooster crowed

And he raised his leg

He run that old hen and caught her

Then she laid an egg
