Don't Leave Me Here

Don't leave, don't you leave

Ah, don't you leave me here

Is all night long, sweet mama

Don't leave me here

I was standin' on the corner

A talkin' to Ma Brown

I turned around, sweet mama, I work housebound

Don't leave, don't you leave

Ah, don't you leave me here

Is all night long, sweet mama

Don't leave me here

I'm Alabama bound

I'm Alabama bound

Yes, all night long, sweet mama

Alabama bound

And I got a girl

And she's workin' hard

Yeah, the dress she wear, lovin' baby

Said, "It's pink, and blue"

She bring me coffee

And she bring me tea

She bring me everything

Except the jailhouse key

Don't leave, don't you leave

Ah, don't you leave me, here

Yes, all night long, sweet papa

Don't leave me, here

Yes, I'm goin' away

And it won't be long

Yes, sure, as the train leaves out of the yard

I'm Alabama bound

Don't leave, don't you leave

Ah, don't you leave me, here

Yes, all night long, sweet papa

Don't leave me, here

I'm goin' away

And it won't be long

Yes, is your train, lovin' baby

I'm Alabama bound

Don't leave, don't you leave

Ah, don't you leave me, here

Yes, all night long, sweet mama

Don't leave me, here

Said, "The boat's up the river"

And she won't come down

I believe to my soul, sweet darling

She's water bound

I look to the East

And I look to the West

If she head to the South, good God

She's Alabama bound

Don't leave, don't you leave

Ah, don't you leave me, here

Yes, all night long, sweet mama

Don't leave me, here

Alabama bound

Alabama bound
