Текст песни
Way down in Alabama
I'm shoutin' Bamalama
Way down in Louisiana
Well, well, well, nobody gonna set him down
Lord have mercy on my soul
How many chickens have I stole?
One last night and the night before
I'm going back and try to get ten, 11 more
Startin' to get 'em and I
I love a chicken, baby
Way down in Alabama
Well, well, well, nobody's gonna set him down
Nine feet, ten feet, goin' towards the hill
Nine feet seven on a ten feet kill
Ten feet turn around on a nine-feet fence
His teeth fell out, but his tongue stayed in
It's gettin' to sayin' somethin'
He's gettin' scared, baby, oh
Way down in Alabama
Well, well, well, nobody gonna set him down
Leo Demarket rode a line one day
A bad little fella comin' down the way
We were talkin' 'bout the family, it's a cryin' shame
He tell ya, "Your mama workin' on the chain gang"
She bustin' bricks now
She workin' hard, baby, oh
Way down in Alabama, oh
Well, well, well, nobody gonna set him down
The preacher and the deacon were prayin' one day
Along come a bear comin' down that way
The preacher told the deacon to say a prayer
He said, "Lord, a prayer won't kill this bear"
We gotta run for it
We gotta make it, baby, whoa
Way down in Alabama
Well, well, well, nobody's gonna set him down
Shout "Bamalama"
Way down in Alabama (shout)
It's close to Louisiana (oh)
Well, well, well, nobody's gonna set him down
I'm gonna shout it (oh, shout it)
Shout it (shout it)
Gonna shout it (shout it)
We shout it (shout it)
I'm gonna shout it (shout it)
Oh, shout it (shout it)
Everybody, everybody, everybody
We gonna shout it (shout it)
Talk 'bout it (talk 'bout it)
We gonna shout it (shout it)
