Alabam:Cowboy Copas.
This was #1 one on the Country charts but
crossed over to the Rock charts at #63 in 1960.
(He was killed in the same plane crash as Patsy Cline
and Hawkshaw Hawkins in 1963.)
#1.
Well, I went to a turkey roast down the street,
people down there eatin' like wild geese..
I’m on my way...I’m going back..To Alabam.
#2.
Talk about the people having a whale of a time,
eatin' up the chicken and drinkin' their wine.
I’m on my way...I’m going back..To Alabam.
#3.
Now, some folks say that a tramp won’t steal,
But I caught three in my cornfield.
I’m on my way...I’m going back..To Alabam.
#4.
One had a bushel, the other had a peck,
One had a roastin' ear tied around his neck.
I’m on my way...I’m going back..To Alabam.
#5.
Here comes Sal walking down the street,
with the run down shoes tied on her feet.
Good morning, Honey..stand over there, baby.
Get over there, now.
#6.
Hello Sal, I know you..
with the run down slipper and the tore up shoe.
I’m on my way...I’m going back..To Alabam.
#7.
When I get ready to leave this Earth,
I’m gonna look back on my money’s worth.
I’m on my way...I’m going back..To Alabam.
Yes, I’m going back..to Ala..bam.
