Slumming On Avenue |
| I’ve had a mighty busy day |
| I’ve had to pack my things away |
| Now I’m going to give the landlord back his key |
| The very key |
| That opened up my dreary flat |
| Where many weary nights I sat |
| Thinking of the folks down home who think of me |
| You can bet you’ll find me singing happily |
| When the midnight choo-choo leaves for Alabam' |
| I’ll be right there |
| I’ve got my fare |
| When I see that rusty-haired conductor-man |
| I’ll grab him by the collar |
| And I’ll holler |
| «Alabam'! |
| Alabam'!» |
| That’s where you stop your train |
| That brings me back again |
| Down home where I’ll remain |
| Where my honey-lamb am |
| I will be right there with bells |
| When that old conductor yells |
| «All aboard! |
| All aboard! |
| All aboard for Alabam'» |
| The minute that I reach the place |
| I’m goin' to overfeed my face |
| 'Cause I haven’t had a good meal since the day |
| I went away |
| I’m goin' to kiss my Pa and Ma |
| A dozen times for ev’ry star |
| Shining over Alabama’s new mown hay |
| I’ll be glad enough to throw myself away |
